This article presents a new decentralized multi-agent information-theoretic (DeMAIT) control
algorithm for mobile sensors (agents). The algorithm leverages Bayesian estimation and …

Weeds can impact many ecosystems, including natural, urban and agricultural
environments. This paper discusses core weed biosecurity program concepts and …

Alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb) forms dense infestations in
aquatic environments and is the focus of intensive management programs in many …

A fundamental task of robotic systems is to use on-board sensors and perception algorithms
to understand high-level semantic properties of an environment. These semantic properties …

Remote sensing using robotic aircraft (either Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or remotely
piloted) can be an efficient and cost-effective way of collecting geo-spatial information over …

A key challenge in the NSW Hawkweed Eradication Program is delimiting the infestation,
particularly across the remote and rugged area where the infestation occurs. To supplement …

Aquatic plants are integral components of freshwater ecosystems and provide essential
ecosystem services. However, when invasive species establish in new aquatic …

This chapter is intended to describe the main concepts and issues of applying small UAVs to
geographic observation. The discussion begins with an overview of drones as flying …

Traditional and established methods of weed management are outlined, from hand-
weeding, to the use of herbicides and biological control. Recent new developments in …

This chapter presents some aspects of how drones are expanding the potential of aerial
geographic observation. General basics are summarized in the first section (3.1). Some …
