Large Scale Robotic

Large-scale robotics (LSR) focuses on designing, controlling, and coordinating numerous robots to accomplish complex tasks exceeding the capabilities of individual units. Current research emphasizes efficient path planning algorithms, often leveraging models like Gaussian Mixture Models and their extensions (e.g., skew-normal mixtures) to manage the collective behavior of robot swarms, and the development of scalable software architectures like microservices and ROS 2 to handle the increased complexity. This field is significant for its potential to revolutionize various sectors, including logistics, search and rescue, and manufacturing, through improved efficiency, robustness, and adaptability in automation.
