Long-term trials for improvement of autonomous area coverage with a Tetris inspired tiling self-reconfigurable system

作者:

Highlights:

• hTetro a Tetris inspired self-reconfigurable floor cleaning robot.

• Capable of performing autonomously in a constrained environment.

• Conducting longterm trials in a complex food court environment as our case study.

• Benchmarked the robot’s coverage performance with fixed morphology robot.

• Improved system design, control system, and coverage strategy.
