Selfish behaviors are common in self-organized Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) where nodes belong to different authorities. Since cooperation of nodes is essential for routing protocols, various methods have been proposed to stimulate…

The mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a wireless network based on a group of mobile nodes without any centralised infrastructure. In civilian data communication, all nodes cannot be homogeneous-type and not do a specific data communication.…

A team of robots sharing a common goal can benefit from coordination of the activities of team members, helping the team to reach the goal more reliably or quickly. We address the problem of coordinating the actions of a team of robots with…

In this short paper, we propose MiabNET, a reactive protocol for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANET). This protocol leverages the concept of "message-in-a-bottle" to spread the routing information though the entire network. The idea of the…

This paper considers trajectory planning for a mobile robot which persistently relays data between pairs of far-away communication nodes. Data accumulates stochastically at each source, and the robot must move to appropriate positions to…

Multi-robot navigation in unknown, structurally constrained, and GPS-denied environments presents a fundamental trade-off between global strategic foresight and local tactical agility, particularly under limited communication. Centralized…

Multi-robot systems performing continuous tasks face a performance trade-off when interrupted by urgent, time-critical sub-tasks. We investigate this trade-off in a scenario where a team must balance area patrolling with locating an…
