Title: I know that you know that I know: Towards Epistemic Planning of Heterogeneous Robotic Systems
Abstract: Thanks to their diversity in capabilities, heterogeneous robotics systems have the potential to be very effective assets for unmanned operations where precise sensing of the surrounding environment and rapid decision making and control are required especially in unknown, unstructured, and possibly hazardous settings. Coordination and allocation of such systems is however a challenging problem due to communication that is often unreliable, causing inefficiencies or outright failures to arise if not properly handled.
This talk will discuss such challenges and will present a novel epistemic planning method that allows each robot to operate autonomously in the absence of constant communication: each robot as it is exploring will maintain a belief and empathy of the other teammates and a measure of uncertainty about that belief which will inform subsequent task allocations and rendezvous locations.
