抄録: In this paper, we focus on large-scale environment monitoring by utilizing a fully decentralized team of mobile robots. The robots utilize the resource constrained-decentralized active sensing scheme to select the most informative (uncertain) locations to observe while conserving allocated resources (battery, travel distance, etc.). We utilize a distributed Gaussian process (GP) framework to split the computational load over ourfleet of robots. Since each robot is individually generating a model of the environment, there may be conflicting predictions for test locations. Thus, in this paper, we propose an algorithm for aggregating individual prediction models into a single globally consistent model that can be used to infer the overall spatial dynamics of the environment. To make a prediction at a previously unobserved location, we propose a novel gating network fora mixture-of-experts model wherein the weight of an expert is determined by the responsibility of the expert over the unvisited location. The benefit of posing our problem as a centralized fusion with a distributed GP computationapproach is that the robots never communicate with each other, individually optimize their own GP models based on their respective observations, and off-load all their learnt models on the base station only at the end of their respective mission times. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach using publicly available datasets.
