The aim of this book was to present the state-of-the-art works in the field of environment monitoring using multi-robot teams for efficient data acquisition. To this end, several of author(s)' own contributions pertaining to novel resource constrained path planning, map fusion, and operational range estimation were also presented. Aside from these, several other success stories from research groups around the world were also summarized and open research challenges were highlighted. This work lays down the foundation for practical applications of applied machine learning for robot-assisted environment monitoring applications. Given the different pace of research enhancements in the machine learning and robotics domains, some efforts need to be made to develop a robust environment monitoring system that is scalable, low-cost, and trustworthy. For this, the chapter highlights some of the immediate extensions to results discussed herewith that can contribute to these aims. |
