论文摘要
在这项工作中，我们按需介绍移动无线建筑内结构：通过自主重新配置的临时网络为多机器人团队提供无线连接的框架。在许多情况下，以前的多代理系统要么假设现有通信基础架构的可用性，要么还需要创建网络，而除了完成其目标之外。取而代之的是，我们的系统明确承担创建和维持能够满足一组代理团队的端到端通信要求的无线网络的责任，称为任务团队，执行任意目标。为了实现这一目标，我们提出了一个联合优化框架，该框架在寻找最佳网络路由之间交替，以支持任务代理之间的数据流以及通过重新定位称为网络团队的移动中继节点的集合来支持网络的性能。我们通过模拟和实验证明了我们的方法，其中为巡逻任务代理提供了无线连接性。
In this work, we introduce Mobile Wireless In-frastructure on Demand: a framework for providing wireless connectivity to multi-robot teams via autonomously reconfiguring ad-hoc networks. In many cases, previous multi-agent systems either assumed the availability of existing communication infrastructure or were required to create a network in addition to completing their objective. Instead our system explicitly assumes the responsibility of creating and sustaining a wireless network capable of satisfying end-to-end communication requirements of a team of agents, called the task team, performing an arbitrary objective. To accomplish this goal, we propose a joint optimization framework that alternates between finding optimal network routes to support data flows between the task agents and improving the performance of the network by repositioning a collection of mobile relay nodes referred to as the network team. We demonstrate our approach with simulations and experiments wherein wireless connectivity is provided to patrolling task agents.
