Within the context of multiple mobile, and networked robot systems, this chapter explores the
current state of the art. After a brief introduction, we first examine architectures for multirobot …

Multiple unmanned air/ground vehicles heterogeneous cooperation is a novel and
challenging filed. Heterogeneous cooperative techniques can widen the application fields of …

In this paper, a system architecture to provide end-to-end network connectivity for
autonomous teams of robots is discussed. The core of the proposed system is a cyber …

In this paper, we present an experimental study of strategies for maintaining end‐to‐end
communication links for tasks such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and target search and …

In this paper, we report on the integration challenges of the various component technologies
developed toward the establishment of a framework for deploying an adaptive system of …

A team of robots are deployed to accomplish a task while maintaining a viable ad-hoc
network capable of supporting data transmissions necessary for task fulfillment. Solving this …

While there has been significant progress in recent years in the study of estimation and
control of dynamic network graphs, limited attention has been paid to the experimental …

A simple approach for mobile robots to exploit multipath fading in order to improve received
radio signal strength (RSS), is presented. The strategy is to sample the RSS at discrete …

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 …

In this paper we present an algorithm for a mobile robot autonomous return. The algorithm
involves a network failure detection module, which is based on analysis of incoming UDP …
