Airport snow shoveling

The video shows several experiments with shoveling snow by a formation of mobile robots. The path for the formation (and all its robots) is planned using Receding Horizon Control approach. In the first part of the video several simulations show ability to cope with coupling/decapling of the formation and dynamic obstacle avoidance. Then two indoor experiments show how to turn the formation in a blind road (e.g. at the end of a runway) and how to shovel a snow in an airport. The last experiment with P3AT robot shows P3AT mobile robot shoveling a pavement in a park. In the last experiment the robot is navigated by SURFnav algorithm.

Those things would be great for sidewalk-plowing at a university or other place with complicated outdoor walkways.
