Cooperative Navigation

Cooperative navigation focuses on enabling multiple autonomous agents, such as robots or vehicles, to navigate safely and efficiently by sharing information and coordinating their movements. Current research emphasizes developing robust algorithms, often incorporating Kalman filtering or opinion dynamics, to handle uncertainties in agent cooperation levels and environmental conditions, including scenarios with limited or unreliable sensing capabilities. This field is crucial for advancing autonomous systems in various domains, from improving traffic flow and safety in connected vehicles to enabling complex multi-robot tasks in challenging environments like underwater exploration or cluttered airspace.
