Relational Database Design And Multi-Objective Database Queries For Position Navigation And Timing Data, Sean A. Mochocki
Relational Database Design And Multi-Objective Database Queries For Position Navigation And Timing Data, Sean A. Mochocki
Theses and Dissertations
Performing flight tests is a natural part of researching cutting edge sensors and filters for sensor integration. Unfortunately, tests are expensive, and typically take many months of planning. A sensible goal would be to make previously collected data readily available to researchers for future development. The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) has hundreds of data logs potentially available to aid in facilitating further research in the area of navigation. A database would provide a common location where older and newer data sets are available. Such a database must be able to store the sensor data, metadata about the sensors, …
Multi-Objective Constraint Satisfaction For Mobile Robot Area Defense, Kenneth W. Mayo
Multi-Objective Constraint Satisfaction For Mobile Robot Area Defense, Kenneth W. Mayo
Theses and Dissertations
In developing multi-robot cooperative systems, there are often competing objectives that need to be met. For example in automating area defense systems, multiple robots must work together to explore the entire area, and maintain consistent communications to alert the other agents and ensure trust in the system. This research presents an algorithm that tasks robots to meet the two specific goals of exploration and communication maintenance in an uncoordinated environment reducing the need for a user to pre-balance the objectives. This multi-objective problem is defined as a constraint satisfaction problem solved using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). Both …
