MARS: Micro Autonomous RoverS

The MARS testbed
Description
The Micro-Autonomous RoverS Test-Bed consists of six small rovers
that move freely on a large flat granite table. Each rover has two
independantly driven wheels, allowing rovers to rotate on the spot.
Sensing is accomplished via an overhead vision system. Located on the
top of each rover is a distinct pattern of LED's that are detected by
the vision system to distinguish the robots. All processing for the
robots is done off-board.
Research Topics
Current research topics include multi-robot motion planning,
assembly and manipulation planning.
