Abstract Purpose of Review This review summarizes the broad roles that communication
formats and technologies have played in enabling multi-robot systems. We approach this …

The comprehensive integration of instrumentation, communication, and control into physical
systems has led to the study of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), a field that has recently …

While swarm robotics systems are often claimed to be highly fault-tolerant, so far research
has limited its attention to safe laboratory settings and has virtually ignored security issues in …

Consensus achievement is a crucial capability for robot swarms, for example, for path
selection, spatial aggregation, or collective sensing. However, the presence of …

Robustness is key to engineering, automation, and science as a whole. However, the
property of robustness is often underpinned by costly requirements such as over …

At its peak, the Internet-of-Things will largely be composed of low-power devices with
wireless radios attached. Yet, secure authentication of these devices amidst adversaries …

As the scale of distributed control systems over networks increases and interactions
between different subsystems become more sophisticated, questions of the resilience of …

It is no secret that robotic systems are expanding into many human roles or are augmenting
human roles. The Robot Operating System is an open-source standard for the robotic …

This work considers the problem of resilient consensus, where stochastic values of trust
between agents are available. Specifically, we derive a unified mathematical framework to …

Cybersecurity in Robotics is a rapidly developing area that draws attention from practitioners
and researchers. An increase in cyber-attacks, combined with the development of …
