ABSTRACT

An autonomous robot must have a global workspace map in order to cover the complete workspace. However, most previous coverage algorithms assume that they have a grid workspace map that is to be covered before running the task. For this reason, most coverage algorithms can not be applied to complete coverage tasks in unknown environments. An autonomous robot has to build a workspace map by itself for complete coverage in unknown environments. Thus, we propose a new DmaxCoverage algorithm that allows a robot to carry out a complete coverage task in unknown environments. This algorithm integrates a SLAM algorithm for simultaneous workspace map building. Experimentally, we verify that DmaxCoverage algorithm is more efficient than previous algorithms.
