GPU pipeline optimizes multi-robot 3D inspection of underwater structures

Researchers have developed a GPU-resident pipeline designed for multi-robot 3D inspection of underwater structures. This system computes optimal trajectories for a fleet of robots, each equipped with a limited-view camera, to collectively cover a specified portion of a target surface. The pipeline addresses the NP-hard nature of the problem by decomposing it into several stages, including viewpoint generation, visibility computation, set cover, and multi-agent path finding, all optimized for GPU acceleration.

    A GPU-Resident Pipeline for Multi-Robot 3D Inspection with Limited Perception

    We present a complete, GPU-resident pipeline for multi-robot 3D inspection of underwater structures. Given a triangle mesh and a fleet of $K$ robots, each carrying a short-range, limited field-of-view camera, the pipeline computes 6-DOF trajectories that jointly cover a target fr…
