Although a number of solutions exist for the problems of coverage, search, and target
localization-commonly addressed separately-whether there exists a unified strategy that …

It is widely anticipated that autonomous vehicles will have a transformational impact on
military forces and will play a key role in many future force structures. As a result, many tasks …

This paper presents a novel contribution to the problem of coordinating a team of
autonomous sensor agents searching for targets in a large scale environment. Team …

Autonomous landing on the deck of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is still a major
challenge for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In this paper, a fiducial marker is located on …

In this paper, the important topic of cooperative searches for multi-dynamic targets in
unknown sea areas by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is studied based on a …

The problem of perimeter detection and monitoring has a variety of applications. In this
paper, a hybrid system of finite states is proposed for multiple autonomous robotic agents …

Stealthy multi-agent active search is the problem of making efficient sequential data-
collection decisions to identify an unknown number of sparsely located targets while …

This article considers a sensor management problem where a number of road bounded
vehicles are monitored by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a gimballed vision …

The operational environment of aerospace products can have a big impact on their
performance, and therefore it is an aspect that should be considered as early as possible in …

Increased use of autonomy also increases the need for humans to interact with or manage
autonomy. We propose a new variation of sliding autonomy useful for planning problems …
