We propose a dual-resolution scheme to achieve time-efficient autonomous exploration with
one or many robots. The scheme maintains a high-resolution local map of the robot's …

Designing and deploying autonomous swarms capable of performing collective tasks in real-
world is extremely challenging. One drawback of getting out of the lab is that realistic tasks …

Abstract Purpose of Review Underwater robot communication–both between underwater
robots and between other nodes and stations out of the water–is essential for intelligent …

Government data identifies driver behaviour errors as a factor in 94% of car crashes, and
autonomous vehicles (AVs), which avoids risky driver behaviours completely, are expected …

In this paper we propose a hierarchy of techniques for performing loop closure in indoor
environments together with an exploration strategy designed to reduce uncertainty in the …

A basic assumption in most approaches to simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
is the static nature of the environment. In recent years, some research has been devoted to …

We study the problem of distributing a single global task between a group of heterogeneous
robots. We view this problem as a fair division game. In this setting, every robot defines a …

The exploration of unknown environments is a particularly and intuitively detachable
problem, allowing the division of robotic teams into smaller groups, or even into individuals …

We study the Symmetric Rendezvous Search Problem for a multi-robot system. There are
robots arbitrarily located on a line. Their goal is to meet somewhere on the line as quickly as …

This paper investigates efficient techniques to collect and concentrate an under-actuated
particle swarm despite obstacles. Concentrating a swarm of particles is of critical importance …
