In this technical note, we propose a communication-aware motion planning framework to
increase the probability that a robot maintains its connectivity to a fixed station, while …

There are a large class of problems, from search and rescue to environmental monitoring,
that can benefit from teams of mobile robots in environments where there is no existing …

Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) teams are anticipated to provide surveillance support through
algorithms, software, and automation. It is desirable to have algorithms that compute …

Cooperation between multiple autonomous vehicles requires inter-vehicle communication,
which in many scenarios must be established over an ad-hoc wireless network. This paper …

Autonomous Vehicles (AV) are used to solve the problem of data gathering in large scale
sensor deployments with disconnected clusters of sensors networks. Our take is that an …

In this paper we propose a communication-aware motion planning framework to ensure
robust cooperative operation of a mobile network in realistic communication environments …

This paper approaches from an optimal control perspective the problem of fixed-time
detection of mobile radioactive sources in transit by means of a collection of mobile sensors …

This paper demonstrates a guidance law of multiple UAVs for circular pattern target tracking
using only range sensors in a fully connected network using the navigation function. The …
