Interest on using mobile autonomous agents has been growing, recently, due to their
capacity to cooperate for diverse purposes, from rescue to demining and security. However …

In this work, we develop an anchor-less relative localisation algorithm aimed to be used in
multi-robot teams. The localisation is performed based on the Received Signal Strength …

Robots are becoming commonplace in unstructured and dynamic environments, ranging
from homes to offices, public sites, catastrophe sites, military scenarios. Achieving adequate …

This paper describes a complete and efficient vision system developed for the robotic soccer
team of the University of Aveiro, CAMBADA (Cooperative Autonomous Mobile roBots with …

WiFi is prevalent in mobile robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) despite the fact that many
applications in these environments require real-time communication. WiFi does not …

Cooperating mobile autonomous robots have been generating a growing interest in fields
such as rescue, demining and security. These applications require a real time middleware …

Abstract The RoboCup Middle-Size League robotic soccer competitions pose a real
cooperation problem for teams of mobile autonomous robots. In the current state-of-practice …

Wireless communication technologies such as WiFi, ZigBee, or Bluetooth often suffer from
interference due to many devices using the same, unregulated frequency spectrum. Also …

Wireless communications are one of the technical problems that must be addressed by
cooperative robot teams. The wireless medium often becomes heavily loaded and the robots …

In robotic soccer the ball is the most crucial factor of the game. It is therefore extremely
important for a robot to retrieve it as soon as possible. Thus ball interception is a key …
