Abstract

This paper overviews path planning methods, systematic versus probabilistic for robotic demining, and a robot development project. We outline a complete sensor-based coverage algorithm that uses an exact cellular decomposition method. To decrease coverage duration, we introduce a probabilistic method that takes advantage of a priori known mine patterns. Then, we give a comparison of random versus coordinated coverage. Finally, we present a summary of the development of the mobile test platform.
