Adaptive Risk-Based Replanning For Human-Aware Multi-Robot Task Allocation With Local Perception

Alcherio Martinoli, Zeynab Talebpour

In this letter, we propose an adaptive risk-based replanning strategy in the context of multirobot task allocation for dealing with limitations of local perception and unpredicted human behavior. Our replanning method is based on the variations of social r ...

A robust localization system for multi-robot formations based on an extension of a Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density filter

Alcherio Martinoli, Alicja Barbara Roelofsen

This paper presents a strategy for providing reliable state estimates that allow a group of robots to realize a formation even when communication fails and the tracking data alone is insufficient for maintaining a stable formation. Furthermore, the trackin ...

Gyrokinetic analysis and simulation of pedestals to identify the culprits for energy losses using 'fingerprints'

Olivier Sauter, Richard Pitts, Ambrogio Fasoli, Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Henri Weisen, Yves Martin, Yann Camenen, Jan Horacek, Javier García Hernández, Duccio Testa, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Davide Galassi, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Liang Yao, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Cristian Sommariva, Jonathan Graves, Federico Nespoli, Hamish William Patten, Samuel Lanthaler, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

Fusion performance in tokamaks hinges critically on the efficacy of the edge transport barrier (ETB) in suppressing energy losses. The new concept of 'fingerprints' is introduced to identify the instabilities that cause transport losses in the ETBs of many ...
