Bilateral Shared Control of Mobile Robots

  1. Bilateral shared control of mobile robots

    We address the problem of the interaction (see below) between humans and groups of robots whose local synergy is exploited to accomplish complex tasks. Multi-robot systems possess several advantages w.r.t. single robots, e.g., higher performance in simultaneous spatial domain coverage, better affordability as compared to a single/bulky system, robustness against single point failures.
