Scout-Assisted Planning for Heterogeneous Robot Teams under Partially Known Environments

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.22693v1 Announce Type: cross Autonomous robot teams navigating partially known environments face costly backtracking when ground robots encounter blocked roads that are only revealed upon physical traversal. We address this with Scout-Assisted Planning, a heterogeneous planning framework in which scouting Unmanned Aerial Vehicles proactively gather environmental information to improve Unmanned Ground Vehicle navigation.
