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

The unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has been widely used to accomplish missions in the
sea or dangerous marine areas for ships with sailors, which greatly expands protective …

The capability of following a moving target in an environment with obstacles is required as a
basic and necessary function for realizing an autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) …

Ocean exploration has become one of the most important strategies for a sustainable
development for our world. To better understand the ocean and make an efficient use of its …

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) are important autonomous marine robots that have
been studied and gradually applied into practice. However, the autonomous navigation of …

We study problems of intercepting single and multiple invasive intruders on a boundary of a
planar region by employing a team of autonomous unmanned surface vehicles. First, the …

In this paper, we present a contract-based, decentralized planning approach for a team of
autonomous unmanned surface vehicles (USV) to patrol and guard an asset in an …

An excellent navigation, guidance, and control (NGC) system had a high impact on trajectory
tracking and the following scenarios. Both scenarios will include the heading, tangent, and …

In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm to control a team of cooperating robots
aiming to protect a target from a set of intruders. Specifically, we model the strategy of the …

In this paper, the intelligent cooperative control problem of unmanned surface vehicles
(USVs) is investigated. We consider a team of USVs used in the protection of a target …
