Optimization of Energy Models and Behaviors in the Development of Mobile Robotics Applications

Abstract

Mobile robots are widely used in many applications, but their energy limitation is one of the most important challenges. The goal of our research work is to enrich an infrastructure of an embedded computer with tools of modeling, monitoring and energy management in mobile robotics applications. The proposed approach must guarantee the accomplishment of critical missions by maximizing the autonomy of devices, as well as their maintenance in operational state. In this contribution, we present the state of the art of some related works by showing the general concept of energy consumption and minimization of mobile robots and some recent related works concerning energy behaviors modeling and optimization.
