- Abstract
- As part of the TIF project 12pz18: Self-Healing Networked Control Systems For Enhanced Reliability And Safety Of Multivehicle Missions, we are investigating methods for controlling teams of autonomous vehicles in situations with degraded communications and other challenges. We formally define the problem space, describing baseline and modified scenarios. The baseline scenario involves searching points of interest for targets in a bounded region. The modified scenarios introduce degradations in communications, sensor range, and other difficulties. We have created a simulator in which control policies for both scenarios can be evaluated. In addition we researched control policies for the baseline problem and compared their performance in the simulator. Future work will use the simulator to compare performance of control policies for the modified scenario.
