Higher layer applications, such as routing protocols and robot navigation systems,
commonly depend upon link quality (LQ) estimates for improving the efficiency and reliability …

In this systems description paper, we present a multi-robot solution for intelligence-gathering
tasks in disaster-relief scenarios where communication quality is uncertain. First, we …

We consider the problem of satisfying communication demands in a multi-agent system
where several robots cooperate on a task and a fixed subset of the agents act as mobile …

Large-scale micro-aerial vehicle (MAV) swarms provide promising solutions for situational
awareness in applications such as environmental monitoring, urban surveillance, search …

Micro-aerial vehicle (MAV) swarms are a new class of mobile sensor networks with many
applications, including search and rescue, urban surveillance, radiation monitoring, etc …

Many robot exploration algorithms that are used to explore office, home, or outdoor
environments, rely on the concept of frontier cells. Frontier cells define the border between …

We are interested in the problem of how to improve estimation in multi-robot information
gathering systems by actively controlling the rate of communication between robots …

With foresight into the state of the wireless channel, a robot can make various optimization
decisions with regards to routing packets, planning mobility paths, or switching between …

Autonomous teams of unmanned ground and air vehicles rely on networking and distributed
processing to collaborate as they jointly localize, explore, map, and learn in sometimes …

Radio communication between ground robots at low VHF frequencies is generally more
reliable in complex environments compared to conventional systems operating at higher …
