| contents | Cooperative online scalar field mapping is an important task for multi-robot systems. Gaussian process regression is widely used to construct a map that represents spatial information with confidence intervals. However, it is difficult to handle cooperative online mapping tasks because of its high computation and communication costs. This letter proposes a resource-efficient cooperative online field mapping method via distributed sparse Gaussian process regression. A novel distributed online Gaussian process evaluation method is developed such that robots can cooperatively evaluate and find observations of sufficient global utility to reduce computation. The bounded errors of distributed aggregation results are guaranteed theoretically, and the performances of the proposed algorithms are validated by real online light field mapping experiments. |
