Abstract Purpose of Review Robotic patrolling aims at protecting a physical environment by
deploying a team of one or more autonomous mobile robots in it. A key problem in this …

This article addresses a persistent monitoring problem (PMP) that requires an unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) to repeatedly visit n targets of equal priority. The UAV has limited …

In this article, we study multirobot path planning for persistent monitoring tasks. We consider
the case where robots have a limited battery capacity with a discharge time. We represent …

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are powerful tools with vast potential, yet they
face significant challenges. One of the primary issues is flight endurance, limited by current …

Consider a finite set of targets, with each target assigned a relative deadline, and each pair
of targets assigned a fixed transit flight time. Given a flock of identical UAVs, can one ensure …

In this paper, we study the regular sensory data collection of Points of Interest (PoIs) with
multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) during an extended monitoring period, where …

Various missions carried out by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are concerned with
permanent monitoring of a predefined set of ground targets under relative deadline …

In this paper, we study the deployment of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to
continuously monitor Points of Interests (PoIs) during an extended period, where there are …

In multi-agent networked systems, parameter estimation problems arising in many practical
applications are often required to solve Non-Linear Least Squares (NLLS) problems with the …

This article discusses the Length-Constrained Cycle Partition Problem (LCCP), which
constitutes a new generalization of the Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP). Apart from …
