Serial-parallel redundancy is a reliable way to ensure service and systems will be available in cloud computing. That method involves making copies of the same system or program, with only one remaining active. When an error occurs, the…
While traditional robotic systems come with a monolithic system design, reconfigurable multi-robot systems can share and shift physical resources in an on-demand fashion. Multi-robot operations can benefit from this flexibility by actively…
Relative ageing describes how a system ages with respect to another one. The ageing faster orders are the ones which compare the relative ageings of two systems. Here, we study ageing faster orders in the hazard and the reversed hazard…
