Robust path planning and coverage algorithms

The objective of the project is to develop robust path coverage algorithms for applications arising in search and rescue in earthquake struck urban areas and fault detection in energy distribution networks. The salient feature of the algorithms that will be developed is that they take uncertainty about the model into account and provides worst case guarantees based on the model. The algorithms will be tested both on small and large scale examples motivated by the applications. Depending on the progress, practical aspects such as the ability to deploy sensors and using multiple agents will also be investigated.

This project is part of a new collaboration between the Canadian and the international supervisor through International Laboratory of Learning Systems (ILLS), which is a new international research lab of French CNRS in Montreal.
