TL;DR: Interactive Demo of a Robot Web for Distributed Many-Device Localisation

Abstract:

We will present a demonstration of a Robot Web for Distributed Many-Device Localisation.
Robot Web is a distributed network of robots or other devices that can collaborate to achieve global localisation by making measurements of each other through efficient ad-hoc peer-to-peer communication. The system utilises Gaussian Belief Propagation on the underlying nonlinear factor graph, which describes the probabilistic structure of all observations made by robots internally or of one another.
In this proposed demonstration, we will show Robot Web running on a multi-robot simulation with an interactive GUI.
