Continual learning in robotics seeks systems that can constantly adapt to changing environments and tasks, mirroring human adaptability. A key challenge is refining dynamics models, essential for planning and control, while addressing…
Suppose we are sending out $k$ robots from $0$ to search the real line at constant speed (with turns) to find a target at an unknown location; $f$ of the robots are faulty, meaning that they fail to report the target although visiting its…
In part I we considered the problem of convergence to a saddle point of a concave-convex function via gradient dynamics and an exact characterization was given to their asymptotic behaviour. In part II we consider a general class of…
We study a fundamental cooperative message-delivery problem on the plane. Assume $n$ robots which can move in any direction, are placed arbitrarily on the plane. Robots each have their own maximum speed and can communicate with each other…
This work addresses the gathering problem for a set of autonomous, anonymous, and homogeneous robots with limited visibility operating in a continuous circle. The robots are initially placed at distinct positions, forming a rotationally…
In human-robot interactions, human and robot agents maintain internal mental models of their environment, their shared task, and each other. The accuracy of these representations depends on each agent's ability to perform theory of mind,…

We study the algorithmic problem of optimally covering a tree with $k$ mobile robots. The tree is known to all robots, and our goal is to assign a walk to each robot in such a way that the union of these walks covers the whole tree. We…
In this paper, we establish an initial theory regarding the Second Order Asymptotical Regularization (SOAR) method for the stable approximate solution of ill-posed linear operator equations in Hilbert spaces, which are models for linear…
Pick-and-place is one of the fundamental tasks in robotics research. However, the attention has been mostly focused on the ``pick'' task, leaving the ``place'' task relatively unexplored. In this paper, we address the problem of placing…
Historically, feature-based approaches have been used extensively for camera-based robot perception tasks such as localization, mapping, tracking, and others. Several of these approaches also combine other sensors (inertial sensing, for…
