Quadrotor helicopters have become increasingly important in recent years as platforms for
both research and commercial unmanned aerial vehicle applications. This paper extends …

In this paper, a distributed filtering scheme is presented to deal with the fault detection
problem of nonlinear stochastic systems with wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The …

Quadrotor helicopters continue to grow in popularity for unmanned aerial vehicle
applications. However, accurate dynamic models for deriving controllers for moderate to …

This paper addresses the problem of controlling mobile sensing systems to improve the
accuracy and efficiency of gathering information autonomously. It applies to scenarios such …

We consider the problem of distributed convergence to a Nash equilibrium in a
noncooperative game where the players generate their actions based only on online …

We propose an information-theoretic planning approach that enables mobile robots to
autonomously construct dense 3D maps in a computationally efficient manner. Inspired by …

As an alternative to cumbersome aerial vehicles with considerable maintenance
requirements and flight envelope restrictions, the X4 flyer is chosen as the basis for the …

We develop a computationally efficient control policy for active perception that incorporates
explicit models of sensing and mobility to build 3D maps with ground and aerial robots. Like …
