Coverage Technology of Autonomous Mobile Mapping Robots

摘要

The coverage technique is one of the essential applications of autonomous mobile mapping robots. There are various approaches for coverage depending on the model (model/non-model), robot systems (single/multi), and its purpose (patrol/cleaning). Coverage components include viewpoint generation and path planning approaches, which are described as CPP research work. Particularly, in surveillance systems, coverage techniques, such as spanning tree, cyclic coverage, and area-based coverage, are reviewed specifically, which can be expanded for multi-robot systems. In addition, required coverage techniques according to conditions for intelligent surveillance systems are summarized. Lastly, several issues on coverage, specifically cyclic coverage, are described and considered.
