𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗛𝗨𝗠𝗔𝗡-𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 The Robot Cell developed by VARO represent a working environment in which robots and human workers collaborate synergistically to achieve common goals. Operational flexibility: VARO’s robot cell are designed to adapt quickly to changes in production. Robots can be easily reconfigured to perform new tasks, enabling highly flexible production. Intuitive human-machine interface: VARO has invested in the design of an intuitive human-machine interface (HMI), which allows human operators to easily interact with robotic systems. This makes collaboration more effective and reduces learning time. Safety and secure collaboration: safety is a priority in Robot Cell. Advanced sensors and vision systems enable robots to detect human presence and adapt their behaviour accordingly, ensuring a safe and collaborative working environment.

I'm thrilled to announce that I will present our paper, "EM-Patroller: Entropy Maximized Multi-Robot Patrolling With Steady State Distribution Approximation," at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2024 in Yokohama, Japan, this Wednesday (13:30-15:00, Paper WeBT4-CC.5). This work, published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, introduces a novel approach to the multi-robot patrolling problem that optimizes efficiency and coverage through entropy maximization. It’s a joint effort between A*STAR, MIT, and NUS.   Multi-robot patrolling (MuRP) has application potential in various scenarios, such as surveillance and vigilance for regional security and hazardous environment monitoring. However, Existing MuRP solutions either involve high computational complexity for the global optimal solution or rely on heuristics for approximate solutions without performance guarantees. To bridge the gap, we propose the Entropy-Maximized Patroller (EM-Patroller), which guarantees per-iteration performance improvement and has polynomial computational complexity. Join us at the presentation and the poster session to explore how we can extend these capabilities in robotic systems. Excited to share our findings and engage with the community! #Robotics #Automation #IEEE #MultiRobotSystems #Innovation #Research #Engineering #ICRA2024
