In this review, we present a comprehensive perspective on communication-aware robotics,
an area that considers realistic communication environments and aims to jointly optimize …

We describe a framework for the design of collective behaviors for groups of identical mobile
agents. The approach is based on decentralized simultaneous estimation and control …

The goal of this overview paper is to serve as a reference for researchers that are interested
in the realistic modeling of wireless channels for the purpose of analysis and optimization of …

We develop a framework for controlling a team of robots to maintain and improve a
communication bridge between a stationary robot and an independently exploring robot in a …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarm networks have been presented as a promising
paradigm for conducting monitoring, and inter-connecting tasks in unattended or even …

We consider a team of heterogeneous robots, which are deployed within a common
workspace to gather different types of data. The robots have different roles due to different …

In this paper we present a strategy that allows a swarm of autonomous tugboats to
cooperatively move a large object on the water. The two main challenges are:(1) the …

Communication-aware motion control allows mobile networked robots to increase the
average communication throughput. We exploit that in a multipath fading channel, robots …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) must fly at low altitudes to execute certain missions when
operating in complex mountainous areas. However, in these environments, UAVs lose their …

In this paper, we formulate and solve two different minimum time problems related to
unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) surveillance. The first problem is the following. Given a set …
