Exploration of initially unknown environments is an online task in which autonomous mobile
robots coordinate themselves to efficiently discover free spaces and obstacles. Several …

We discuss surveillance with multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that minimize
information idleness (the lag between the start of the mission and the moment when the data …

Physical sampling of water for off-site analysis is necessary for many applications like
monitoring the quality of drinking water in reservoirs, understanding marine ecosystems, and …

During several applications, such as search and rescue, robots must discover new
information about the environment and, at the same time, share operational knowledge with …

Mobile robots, especially unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are of increasing interest for
surveillance and disaster response scenarios. We consider the problem of multi-robot …

This paper tackles the problem of constructing a communication map of a known
environment using multiple robots. A communication map encodes information on whether …

This paper presents a learning approach to predict air-to-ground communication channel
strength to support the communication-relay mission using the unmanned aerial vehicle …

In several multirobot applications in which communication is limited, the mission could
require the robots to iteratively take coordinated joint decisions on how to spread out in the …

We consider the problem of multi-robot sensor coverage, which deals with deploying a multi-
robot team in an environment and optimizing the sensing quality of the overall environment …

Multirobot systems for exploring initially unknown environments are often subject to
communication constraints, due to the limited range of their transmission devices and to …
