We study the problem of deploying a fleet of mobile robots to service tasks that arrive stochastically over time and at random locations in an environment. This is known as the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) and requires robots to…

The frequent migration of large-scale users leads to the load imbalance of mobile communication networks, which causes resource waste and decreases user experience. To address the load balancing problem, this paper proposes a dynamic…

In order to be effective partners for humans, robots must become increasingly comfortable with making contact with their environment. Unfortunately, it is hard for robots to distinguish between ``just enough'' and ``too much'' force: some…

In wireless communication-based formation control systems, the control performance is significantly impacted by the channel capacity of each communication link between agents. This relationship, however, remains under-investigated in the…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) enable a wealth of new applications where remote estimation is essential. Individual sensors simultaneously sense a dynamic process and transmit measured information over a shared channel to a central fusion…

Scalable load balancing algorithms are of great interest in cloud networks and data centers, necessitating the use of tractable techniques to compute optimal load balancing policies for good performance. However, most existing scalable…

This work studies inference-based resource allocation in ultra low-power, large-scale backscatter sensor networks (BSNs). Several ultra-low cost and power sensor devices (tags) are illuminated by a carrier and reflect the measured…

Swarm foraging is a common test case application for multi-robot systems. In this paper we present a novel algorithm for controlling swarm robots with limited communication range and storage capacity to efficiently search for and retrieve…

In this paper, we develop a distributed intermittent communication and task planning framework for mobile robot teams. The goal of the robots is to accomplish complex tasks, captured by local Linear Temporal Logic formulas, and share the…

A two-hop wireless communication link in which a source sends data to a destination with the aid of an intermediate relay node is studied. It is assumed that there is no direct link between the source and the destination, and the relay…

A discrete-time decentralized routing problem in a service system consisting of two service stations and two controllers is investigated. Each controller is affiliated with one station. Each station has an infinite size buffer. Exogenous…

This paper focuses on the broadcast of information on robot networks with stochastic network interconnection topologies. Problematic communication networks are almost unavoidable in areas where we wish to deploy multi-robotic systems,…

Decentralized optimization methods enable on-device training of machine learning models without a central coordinator. In many scenarios communication between devices is energy demanding and time consuming and forms the bottleneck of the…

This paper addresses the problem of optimizing communicated information among heterogeneous, resource-aware robot teams to facilitate their navigation. In such operations, a mobile robot compresses its local map to assist another robot in…

In this paper, we study the problem of cooperative communications in cognitive radio systems where the secondary user has limited relaying room for the overheard primary packets. More specifically, we characterize the stable throughput…

The coordination of robot swarms - large decentralized teams of robots - generally relies on robust and efficient inter-robot communication. Maintaining communication between robots is particularly challenging in field deployments.…

Usage of mobile sink(s) for data gathering in wireless sensor networks(WSNs) improves the performance of WSNs in many respects such as power consumption, lifetime, etc. In some applications, the mobile sink $MS$ travels along a predefined…

Recently, low-complexity and distributed Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA)-based scheduling algorithms have attracted extensive interest due to their throughput-optimal characteristics in general network topologies. However, these…

Bearing measurements,as the most common modality in nature, have recently gained traction in multi-robot systems to enhance mutual localization and swarm collaboration. Despite their advantages, challenges such as sensory noise, obstacle…
