Autonomous systems will play an essential role in many applications across diverse
domains including space, marine, air, field, road, and service robotics. They will assist us in …

Our research concerns the coordination and control of robotic vehicles for upper water-
column oceanographic observations. In such an environment, operating multiple vehicles to …

Our research concerns the mixed-initiative coordination of air and underwater vehicles
interacting over inter-operated radio and underwater communication networks for novel …

Study of ocean processes is important to understanding climatic variability especially on the
productive upper water-column. Ocean currents regulate the climate, it captures CO _2 2 …

This paper proposes a novel strategy for the implementation of complex missions in an
underwater domain, based on the combination of a Goal Allocation (GA) strategy and …

While planning and acting in environments in which nature can trigger non-deterministic
events, the agent has to consider that the state of the environment might change without its …

Planning and acting under the presence of exogenous events brings a number of
challenges as events might modify the environment without the consent of the acting agent …

Automated Planning addresses the problem of finding a sequence of actions, a plan,
transforming the environment from its initial state to some goal state. In real-world …

Long-term autonomous robotic systems in highly dynamic real-world applications are
becoming a reality. Nonetheless, ensuring a certain level of robustness for these systems is …

This paper investigates the application of temporal planning to multiple robots in marine
applications. We analyse plan concurrency, makespan and plan generation time in the …
