We address the problem of repeated coverage of a target area, of any polygonal shape, by a
team of robots having a limited visual range. Three distributed Cluster-based algorithms …

This article examines the problems of multi-robot coverage and persistent monitoring of
regions of interest with limited sensing robots. A group of robots, each equipped with only …

The multi-robot task allocation problem comprises task assignment, coalition formation, task
scheduling, and routing. We extend the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) …

The revolution of autonomous vehicles has led to the development of robots with abundant
sensors, actuators with many degrees of freedom, high-performance computing capabilities …

Distributed coverage aims to deploy a team of robots to move around a target area to
perform sensing, monitoring, data collection, search, or distributed servicing tasks. This …

Coordination plays a key role in efficiently solving multi-agent problems such as exploration
of unknown environments, search and rescue, and surveillance. Planning in a highly …
