Behavior trees (BTs) are increasingly popular in the robotics community. Yet in the growing
body of published work on this topic, there is a lack of consensus on what to measure and …

Multirobot and multiagent systems demonstrate collective (swarm) intelligence through
systematic and distributed integration of local behaviors in a group. Agents sharing …

In this work, we aim to model the multi-UAV rendezvous recharging problem, which consists
of energy-limited aerial vehicles that rendezvous with a mobile or fixed charging station. The …

Electric multi-rotor drones have been used to inspect several structures, including large
buildings and dams. In these inspections, energy consumption is a concern. To prevent the …

We propose a design for a functional programming language for autonomous agents, built
off the ideas and motivations of Behavior Trees (BTs). BTs are a popular model for designing …

In software engineering, conceptual modeling focuses on creating representations of the
world that are as faithful and rich as possible, with the aim of guiding the development of …

Multi-agent and multi-robot systems (MRS) often rely on direct communication for
information sharing. This work explores an alternative approach inspired by eavesdropping …

This paper addresses the problem of dynamic allocation of robot resources to tasks with
hierarchical representations and multiple types of execution constraints, with the goal of …

Behavior Trees (BTs) provide a lean set of control flow elements that are easily composable
in a modular tree structure. They are well established for modeling the high-level behavior of …
