This paper addresses the optimal time-invariant formation tracking problem with the aim of providing a distributed solution for multi-agent systems with second-order integrator dynamics. In the literature, most of the results related to…

We consider a mission framework in which two unmanned vehicles (UVs), a leader and a wingmate, are required to provide cooperative coverage of an environment while being within a short communication range. This framework finds applications…

This work considers the problem of passively monitoring multiple moving targets with a single unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) agent equipped with a direction-finding radar. This is in general a challenging problem due to the unobservability…

In realistic pursuit-evasion scenarios, abrupt target maneuvers generate unavoidable periods of elevated uncertainty that result in estimation delays. Such delays can degrade interception performance to the point of causing a miss. Existing…

This letter investigates the transmit power and trajectory optimization problem for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-aided networks. Different from majority of the existing studies with fixed communication infrastructure, a dynamic scenario is…

In this paper, we consider unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with a visible light communication (VLC) access point and coordinated multipoint (CoMP) capability that allows users to connect to more than one UAV. UAVs can move in…

We present a scalable and effective multi-agent safe motion planner that enables a group of agents to move to their desired locations while avoiding collisions with obstacles and other agents, with the presence of rich obstacles,…

This work proposes a coverage controller that enables an aerial team of distributed autonomous agents to collaboratively generate non-myopic coverage plans over a rolling finite horizon, aiming to cover specific points on the surface area…

This paper presents a distributed adaptive control strategy for multi-agent systems with heterogeneous dynamics and collision avoidance. We propose an adaptive control strategy designed to ensure leader-following formation consensus while…

We consider a variant of the target defense problems where a group of defenders are tasked to simultaneously capture an intruder. The intruder's objective is to reach a target without being simultaneously captured by the defender team. Some…

This paper proposes a novel planning framework to handle a multi-agent pathfinding problem under team-connected communication constraint, where all agents must have a connected communication channel to the rest of the team during their…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have gained popularity due to their flexible mobility, on-demand deployment, and the ability to establish high probability line-of-sight wireless communication. As a result, UAVs have been extensively used as…

Autonomous vehicles are suited for continuous area patrolling problems. Finding an optimal patrolling strategy can be challenging due to unknown environmental factors, such as wind or landscape; or autonomous vehicles' constraints, such as…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been increasingly used in the context of remote sensing missions such as target search and tracking, mapping, or surveillance monitoring. In the first part of our paper we consider agent dynamics,…

This paper investigates the problem of computing a two-dimensional optimal curvature straight line (CS) shortest path for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to intercept a moving target, with both the UAV (pursuer) and target travelling at…

This paper studies the problem of stabilizing a leader-follower formation specified by a set of bearing constraints and being disturbed by some unknown uniformly bounded disturbance{s}. A set of leaders are positioned at their desired…

This paper presents a new connectivity condition on the information flow between UAVs to achieve coordinated path following. The information flow is directional, so that the underlying communication network topology is represented by a…

This paper addresses the distributed consensus design problem for linear multi-agent systems with directed communication graphs and external disturbances. Both the cases with strongly connected communication graphs and leader-follower…

Coordination among connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) is advancing due to developments in control and communication technologies. However, much of the current work is based on oversimplified and unrealistic task-specific assumptions,…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have attracted significant interest recently in assisting wireless communication due to their high maneuverability, flexible deployment, and low cost. This paper considers a multi-UAV enabled wireless…
