The task of shape formation in robot swarms can often be reduced to two tasks-assigning
goal locations to each robot and creating a collision-free path to that goal. In this article, we …

In this work, we develop a novel decentralized coordination algorithm for a team of
autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to surveil an aggressive forest wildfire. For …

In this article, we propose a fully distributed algorithm that leverages the concept of
exploration behavior to achieve the shape formation control of multirobot systems. Here, the …

Given a two-dimensional polygonal space, the multi-robot visibility-based pursuit-evasion
problem tasks several pursuer robots with the goal of establishing visibility with an arbitrarily …

The multi-robot visibility-based pursuit-evasion problem tasks a team of robots with
systematically searching an environment to detect (capture) an evader. Previous techniques …

We carry out a structural and algorithmic study of a mobile sensor coverage optimization
problem targeting 2D surfaces embedded in a 3D workspace. The investigated settings …

This letter explores the vein trait of the structural formation task and extracts four typical
parallel-straight vein structures for generating coalitions. Then, the Vein-Based Multi-Agent …

We investigate the problem of using mobile robots equipped with 2D range sensors to
optimally guard perimeters or regions, ie, 1D or 2D sets. Given such a set of arbitrary shape …

In this work, we carry out structural and al-gorithmic studies of a problem of barrier forming:
selecting the minimum number of straight line segments (barriers) that separate several sets …

We perform structural and algorithmic studies of significantly generalized versions of the
optimal perimeter guarding (OPG) problem. As compared with the original OPG where …
