2025 Multi-Robot Motion Planning with Cooperative Localization
abstract
We consider the uncertain multi-robot motion planning (MRMP) problem with cooperative localization (CL-MRMP), under both motion and measurement noise, where each robot can act as a sensor for its nearby teammates. We formalize CL-MRMP as a chance-constrained motion planning problem, and propose a safety-guaranteed algorithm that explicitly accounts for robot-robot correlations. Our approach extends a sampling-based planner to solve CL-MRMP while preserving probabilistic completeness. To improve efficiency, we introduce novel biasing techniques. We evaluate our method across diverse benchmarks, demonstrating its effectiveness in generating motion plans, with significant performance gains from biasing strategies.

2023 Chance-Constrained Motion Planning with Event-Triggered Estimation
abstract
We consider the problem of motion and communication planning under uncertainty with limited information from a remote sensor network. Because the remote sensors are power and bandwidth limited, we use event-triggered (ET) estimation to manage communication costs. We introduce a fast and efficient sampling-based planner which computes motion plans coupled with ET communication strategies that minimize communication costs, while satisfying constraints on the probability of reaching the goal region and the point-wise probability of collision. We derive a novel method for offline propagation of the expected state distribution, and corresponding bounds on this distribution. These bounds are used to evaluate the chance constraints in the algorithm. Case studies establish the validity of our approach and demonstrate computational efficiency and asymptotic optimality of the planner.
