The problem of min-time coverage in constricted environments concerns the employment of robotic fleets for the expedient support of routine inspection and service operations within well-structured but constricted environments. Typical examples of these applications include the inspection of various locations in subterranean utility networks and pipeline networks. In our previous work we have provided an extensive investigation of this coverage problem for the case where the underlying network that defines the operational environment for the robots, has a dendritic topology. The current work capitalizes on those past results in order to develop an effective and efficient heuristic method for the more general case where the underlying network has an arbitrary topology. We detail the presented method and demonstrate it with some elucidating examples. Also, a numerical experiment highlights the efficacy of the method and the quality of the obtained solutions. Finally, the last part of the paper discusses some extensions of the presented method and certain aspects of it that enable an even more efficient and robust implementation. Note to Practitioners—This paper concerns the application of the current and the emergent robotic technologies in the inspection and monitoring of remote and difficult to access facilities, like underground utility networks and oil and gas pipeline networks. The constricted and remote nature of these environments necessitates the careful preservation of a wireless ad hoc communication network among the deployed robots and the command-&-control center that supervises the entire operation, and this need gives rise to some novel, very interesting and very challenging coordination and scheduling problems. We have undertaken the investigation of these problems in a recent series of papers, providing a systematic formal characterization of them, and some analytical results that have identified important underlying structure and have also led to the development of a pertinent heuristic approach for certain special cases. This work complements and extends those earlier developments by generalizing the past heuristic approach so that it applies to the more general problem versions. Numerical experimentation demonstrates the efficacy and the potency of this generalization.
