Abstract (300 words maximum)
Battery performance is a critical factor in determining the viability of a robotic system. This becomes increasingly evident in the case of a robotic swarm where success is dependent on robust system performance across several mobile robots. In this paper, we explore different battery optimization approaches for the application of a robotic swarm dictating safety in a work zone/construction environment. With the growing complexity of robotic performance, several systems must be accounted for. Therefore, we consider the characteristics and power draw of motors and a computational platform that additionally operates computer vision tasks, along with the Pure Pursuit tracking algorithm
