This was my honours project at the University of Adelaide’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, supervised by Professor Cheng-Chew Lim.
The work explored how a team of robots can coordinate in a distributed system: sharing enough information to act together, synchronising tasks, avoiding dynamic obstacles, and arriving at a destination simultaneously.
What I built
- A multi-robot testbed that became a foundation for later research groups.
- A simultaneous-arrival algorithm designed to avoid dynamic obstacles.
- A task-synchronisation framework for a distributed multi-robot system.
- A real-world deployment of the algorithms on physical robots.
The project became the research I was proudest of during university and received the highest mark in my class.
