Abstract

Patrolling is one of the basic tasks of robots which has a wide range of applications in reality. The related issues have received much attention in the research of computational geometry and robotics. The problem of robot patrolling requires continuous coverage of designated areas for a long time, and this paper used idle time to express the patrol efficiency of robots. The smaller the idle time, the better the efficiency. Therefore, this paper designs a traversable circle model, where the robot needs to patrol the boundary and the diameter of the circle. This paper first proposed an algorithm which use two variable speed robots for this model. On the basis of analyzing the geometric features of the model, this paper proves the optimality of the algorithm according to its requirements. Then, this paper proposed an algorithm for three variable speed robots to cooperate with each other to patrol traversable circle and proved the optimal idle time of this algorithm is 19/25 of the partition algorithm. Finally, this paper verifies the correctness of the theoretical analysis through simulation.
