This paper addresses a visibility-based pursuit-evasion problem in which a team of mobile
robots with limited sensing and communication capabilities must coordinate to detect any …

Differential flatness and control of protocentric aerial manipulators with any number of arms and mixed rigid-/elastic-joints

B Yüksel, G Buondonno… - 2016 IEEE/RSJ …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper we introduce a particularly relevant class of aerial manipulators that we name
protocentric. These robots are formed by an underactuated aerial vehicle, a planar-Vertical …

Structured triangulation in multi-robot systems: Coverage, patrolling, voronoi partitions, and geodesic centers

SK Lee, SP Fekete, J McLurkin - The International Journal of …, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
We present a fundamental framework for organizing exploration, coverage, and surveillance
by a swarm of robots with limited individual capabilities, based on triangulating an unknown …

Efficient communication for pursuit-evasion games with asymmetric information

D Maity - 2023 62nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a class of pursuit-evasion differential games in which the evader has
continuous access to the pursuer's location but not vice-versa. There is an immobile sensor …

Escape analysis on the confinement-escape problem of a defender against an evader escaping from a circular region

W Li - IEEE transactions on cybernetics, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, we investigate some mathematical properties of the confinement-escape
problem of a defender and an evader with respect to a circular region, which was proposed …

Optimal intermittent sensing for pursuit-evasion games

D Maity - IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider a class of pursuit-evasion differential games in which the evader has
continuous access to the pursuer's location, but not vice-versa. There is a remote sensor (eg …
