With the rapid development of drone technology, the application of multi-drones is becoming increasingly widespread in various fields. However, the task planning technology for multi-drones still faces challenges such as the complexity of…

Delay and Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTN) are critical for reliable communications in challenged network environments, particularly for space systems where end-to-end connectivity cannot be guaranteed. We present an open-source,…

We consider the problem of controlling a large fleet of drones to deliver packages simultaneously across broad urban areas. To conserve energy, drones hop between public transit vehicles (e.g., buses and trams). We design a comprehensive…

Despite the trend towards ubiquitous wireless connectivity, there are scenarios where the communications infrastructure is damaged and wireless coverage is insufficient or does not exist, such as in natural disasters and temporary crowded…

Inter-connected objects, either via public or private networks are the near future of modern societies. Such inter-connected objects are referred to as Internet-of-Things (IoT) and/or Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). One example of such a…

Several novel industrial applications involve human control of vehicles, cranes, or mobile robots through various high-throughput feedback systems, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and tactile/haptic signals. The near real-time interaction…

We investigate ways for the exchange of information (explicit communication) among deaf and dumb mobile robots scattered in the plane. We introduce the use of movement-signals (analogously to flight signals and bees waggle) as a mean to…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, are increasingly being used to deliver goods from vendors to customers. To safely conduct these operations at scale, drones are required to broadcast position information as codified in remote…

The adoption of unmanned aerial vehicles to monitor critical infrastructure is gaining momentum in various industrial domains. Organizational imperatives drive this progression to minimize expenses, accelerate processes, and mitigate…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be utilized as aerial base stations to provide communication service for remote mobile users due to their high mobility and flexible deployment. However, the line-of-sight (LoS) wireless links are…

Despite significant progress, the deployment of UAV technology in commercial and civil applications is still lagging. This is essentially due to the risks associated with drone flights and the lack of coordinated technologies that would…

DroneStick is a novel hands-free method for smooth interaction between a human and a robotic system via one of its agents, without training and any additional handheld or wearable device or infrastructure. A flying joystick (DroneStick),…

This article explores the use of network-connected unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications as a compelling solution to achieve high-rate information transmission and support ultra-reliable UAV remote command and control. We first…

Mission-critical operations of highly maneuverable Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) require reliable communication to ensure safe integration into existing airspace. Understanding system-level performance under stochastic…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems are being increasingly used in a broad range of scenarios and applications. However, their deployment in urban areas poses important technical challenges. One of the most prominent concerns is the…

We introduce a benchmark for system identification based on 75k real-world samples from the Crazyflie 2.1 Brushless nano-quadrotor, a sub-50g aerial vehicle widely adopted in robotics research. The platform presents a challenging testbed…

Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) present unique challenges due to high node mobility, dynamic topologies, and strict resource constraints. Existing routing protocols often optimize for a single metric, such as path length or energy, while…

Drones are being used in many industries for a variety of applications, including inspecting bridges, surveying farm land, and delivering cargo. Automating these kinds of scenarios requires more than following a sequence of GPS waypoints;…

The convergence of drone delivery systems, virtual worlds, and blockchain has transformed logistics and supply chain management, providing a fast, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional ground transportation methods;Provide…

Drones are a promising technology for autonomous data collection and indoor sensing. In situations when human-controlled UAVs may not be practical or dependable, such as in uncharted or dangerous locations, the usage of autonomous UAVs…
