Robots are now ubiquitously employed across various settings, ranging from autonomous vehicles and warehouse logistics to challenging rescue missions, performing myriad tasks with minimal human guidance to no human intervention at all. Fundamental to these robotic operations is scene perception - the capability to perceive and understand the surrounding environment, mainly reliant on vision sensors such as cameras and LiDAR systems. This aspect is paramount for decision-making, navigation, and, eventually, successful task execution.
However, in complex environments, such as uncontrolled road intersections or multi-robot coordination scenarios, distributed agent reasoning, such as semantic segmentation, can sometimes falter, lacking situational awareness. We aim to investigate the influence of centralized and ad hoc coordination in multi-agent robotic perception under the dual challenges of maintaining situational awareness.
