Target detection and tracking encompasses a variety of decisional problems such as
coverage, surveillance, search, patrolling, observing and pursuit-evasion along with others …

Now in its third edition, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the multidisciplinary
field of mobile robotics, which lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computational …

A decentralized, adaptive control law is presented to drive a network of mobile robots to an
optimal sensing configuration. The control law is adaptive in that it uses sensor …

Wild-land fire fighting is a hazardous job. A key task for firefighters is to observe the “fire
front” to chart the progress of the fire and areas that will likely spread next. Lack of …

An approach is presented for influencing teams of robots by means of time-varying density
functions, representing rough references for where the robots should be located. A …

Wild-land fire fighting is a hazardous job. A key task for firefighters is to observe the “fire
front” to chart the progress of the fire and areas it will likely spread next. Lack of information …

Task allocation is an important problem in multi-robot system which can be defined with
different setup for different application, ie coverage, surveillance and mining mission in static …

Although a number of solutions exist for the problems of coverage, search, and target
localization-commonly addressed separately-whether there exists a unified strategy that …

This paper proposes a distributed estimation and control algorithm that enables a team of
mobile robots to search for and track an unknown number of targets. These targets may be …

This letter presents a resilient mechanism to allocate heterogeneous robots to tasks under
difficult environmental conditions such as weather events or adversarial attacks. Our primary …
