Chain Configuration with Multiple Robots

Comprehensive analysis of autonomous construction of lunar landing pads using a network of small robots with chain configurations. This research demonstrates how multiple coordinated robots can efficiently perform site preparation and landing pad construction tasks, achieving significant advantages over single-robot systems through distributed task allocation and collaborative execution.

  • Developed distributed algorithms for multi-robot coordination matching centralized performance while achieving 93% progress on traversable terrain
  • Analyzed chain-configured robot teams for site preparation, demonstrating 70% reduction in overall travel distance compared to single robots
  • Implemented task allocation strategies optimizing robot workload distribution and minimizing congestion in high-density scenarios
  • Designed autonomous construction sequences for lunar landing pad preparation including excavation, grading, and surface stabilization
  • Evaluated system scalability and performance trade-offs with varying robot team sizes and terrain conditions
