A multi-vehicle testbed for multi-modal, decentralized sensing of the environment

This paper shows the capability of our environmental testbed to validate novel cooperative control algorithms that rely on measurements from the environment. Through the design of our mounting plates, the testbed can accommodate multiple environmental sensors as well as different configurations of robot accessories. Also, our environmental sensor suite provides the ability to integrate a variety of sensors that provide measurements of physical quantities to address many different types of cooperative control algorithms.
