This paper analyzes task assignment for heterogeneous air vehicles using a guaranteed
conflict-free assignment algorithm, the Consensus Based Bundle Algorithm (CBBA). We …

For many vehicles, obstacles, and targets, coordination of a fleet of Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) is a very complicated optimization problem, and the computation time …

This paper introduces a new framework for UAV search operations and proposes a new
approach to calculate the minimum number of looks needed to achieve a given level of …

This paper presents a new robust approach to the task assignment of unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) operating in uncertain dynamic environments for which the optimization …

This paper presents a new formulation for the UAV task assignment problem with uncertainty
in the environment. The problem is posed as a task assignment with uncertainty in the cost …

Future unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are expected to operate with higher level of
autonomy to execute very complex military and civilian applications. New methods in …

Conceptual aircraft design directly impacts the structure of an airline's route network and
ability to service demand for various ticket itineraries between origin and destination city …

(cont.) In this algorithm, only necessary information is communicated, which makes this
method communication-efficient and well-suited for low bandwidth communication networks …

This paper investigates the problem of search for moving targets when the target motion is
poorly known. The approach taken is probabilistic, modeling the target motion with a …

Teams of autonomous mobile robotic agents will play an important role in the future of
robotics. Efficient coordination of these agents within large, cooperative teams is an …
