Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) provide a virtual layer where the information about the
physical world can be accessed by computational systems. Mobile robots have long been …

Unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV)-enabled mobile-edge computing (MEC) has emerged as a
promising paradigm to extend the coverage of computation service for Internet of Things …

Smart cities can manage assets and resources efficiently by using different types of
electronic data collection sensors, devices and vehicles. However, growing complexity of …

In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning approach of collision avoidance and
investigate optimal trajectory planning for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication …

In this article, we investigate the energy minimization problem of an unmanned-aerial-
vehicle (UAV)-assisted data collection sensor network. We jointly optimize the trajectory of …

The development of cloud computing pours great vitality into traditional wireless sensor
networks (WSNs). The integration of WSNs and cloud computing has received a lot of …

In this paper, we consider the problem of completely flying over an area just hit by an
earthquake with a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to opportunely direct rescue …

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensors are equipped with limited power batteries.
Data collection from sensors is one of the fundamental tasks in WSNs. Maximizing the data …

Introducing mobile robots into wireless sensor networks to collect data can balance the
energy dissipation through the entire network and then improve the network lifetime. In this …

The motivation for writing this book came from our previous research works on sensor
coverage. They received a large number of citations and this number grows rapidly each …
