Abstract :
In this paper we present a prototypical multi-robot surveillance system that can be setup quickly in an unknown environment and is able to monitor an outdoor environment completely autonomously. The system autonomously detects intruders, acquires their positions and confronts them. The robots are not required to keep a wireless communication connection to the base station at all time and can operate independently. The performance of the system was testified during the European Land Robot Trial (ELROB) 2009 in the camp security scenario and results are presented and discussed in this paper.
