Abstract
This paper presents a method for multi-robot communication-sensitive
reconnaissance. This approach utilizes collections of
precompiled vector fields in parallel to coordinate a team of
robots in a manner that is responsive to communication failures.
Collections of vector fields are organized at the task level for
reusability and generality. Different team sizes, scenarios, and
task management strategies are investigated. Results indicate an
acceptable reduction in communication attenuation when
compared to other related methods of navigation. Online
management of tasks and potential scalability are discussed.
