Work description

1. Initial training in ROS1/ROS2 and simulation environments (GAZEBO, Webots) 2. Study of the current architecture of the existing solution Detailed analysis of the currently implemented system, with a view to its comprehensive understanding and preparation for the ongoing operational demonstration. This process will include identifying weaknesses, limitations or opportunities for improvement in the current state of the system. 3. Operationalization of the current demonstration and implementation of identified improvements Based on the study of the existing solution, practical preparation for the functional demonstration will be carried out, including the implementation of technical improvements that enhance the robustness and performance of the system in a real or controlled environment. 4. Extension for management of heterogeneous robot fleets Development and integration of coordination and control mechanisms applicable to multiple robots with different capabilities and operational profiles. This phase includes: o Definition and implementation of communication interfaces between the fleet management system and the different robots; o Adaptation or development of planning and task assignment algorithms in a multi-robot context; o Assessment of fleet performance in different operating scenarios (simulated and real), considering metrics such as time, efficiency, energy consumption and robustness. 5. Experimental validation and analysis of results Conducting experimental tests using the robot fleet, with data collection, performance analysis and adjustments to the implemented strategies, with a view to optimizing the overall system. 6. Dissemination of results Support in the preparation of technical reports, internal documentation and possible scientific publications or conference papers, contributing to the dissemination of the results obtained
