The need to collect, integrate, and communicate information effectively in emergency
response scenarios exceeds the state of the art in information technology. This emergency …

In this paper, we study the problem of multi-robot target searching in unknown environments.
For target searching, robots need an efficient method with respect to their limitations and …

This paper introduces the application of a sensor network to navigate a flying robot. We have
developed distributed algorithms and efficient geographic routing techniques to …

In this paper we discuss how a network of sensors and robots can cooperate to solve
important robotics problems such as localization and navigation. We use a robot to localize …

Particle swarm optimization (PSO), a new population-based algorithm, has recently been
used on multi-robot systems. Although this algorithm is applied to solve many optimization …

Throughout the history of research, some of the most innovative and useful discoveries have
arisen from a fusion of two or more seemingly unrelated fields of study; a characteristic of …

This paper presents a novel approach to autonomously navigate multiple Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) of type Parrot AR Drone 2.0 inside a closed environment. The UAVs will be …

During an emergency situation inside a confined space, such as a building, decisions must
be taken in a timely manner. Especially when there is an ongoing hazard spreading, the …

This paper presents an agent-based robot control (ARC) architecture. ARC features a
flexible real-time control system, which is suitable for multi-robot cooperative tasks. It also …

From swarming locusts to schools of fish, the complex emergent behaviors exhibited by multi-
agent swarm systems in nature present a compelling basis for their application towards real …
