The days where swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will occupy our skies are fast
approaching due to the introduction of cost-efficient and reliable small aerial vehicles and …

The Cloud infrastructure and its extensive set of Internet-accessible resources has potential
to provide significant benefits to robots and automation systems. We consider robots and …

We introduce an information theoretic model predictive control (MPC) algorithm capable of
handling complex cost criteria and general nonlinear dynamics. The generality of the …

We define a system architecture for a large swarm of miniature quadcopters flying in dense
formation indoors. The large number of small vehicles motivates novel design choices for …

We describe a method for multirobot trajectory planning in known, obstacle-rich
environments. We demonstrate our approach on a quadrotor swarm navigating in a …

We present a novel, deeply embedded robotics middleware and programming environment.
It uses a multithreaded, publish-subscribe design pattern and provides a Unix-like software …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have recently rapidly grown to facilitate a wide range of
innovative applications that can fundamentally change the way cyber-physical systems …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained popularity for diverse applications and
services in both the military and civilian domains. For cooperation and collaboration among …

One of the most important design problems for multi-UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle) systems
is the communication which is crucial for cooperation and collaboration between the UAVs. If …

The last decade has seen a growing interest in the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
for various applications and services. UAVs, or drones as referred to, have shown to be …
