Flying ad hoc network (FANET) provides portable and flexible communication for many applications and possesses several unique design challenges; a key one is the successful delivery of messages to the destination, reliably. For reliable…
This paper proposes a novel cooperative secure unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aided transmission protocol, where a source (Alice) sends confidential information to a destination (Bob) via an energy-constrained UAV-mounted amplify-and-forward…
The Internet of Drones (IoD) is an emerging and crucial paradigm enabling advanced applications that require seamless, secure communication across heterogeneous and untrusted domains. In such environments, access control and the…
In recent years, the need for resources for handling processes with high computational complexity for mobile robots is becoming increasingly urgent. More specifically, robots need to autonomously operate in a robust and continuous manner,…
The work introduces a bio-inspired leader-follower system based on an innovative mechanism proposed as software latching that aims to improve collaboration and coordination between a leader agent and the associated autonomous followers. The…
In wireless networks, the presence of interference among wireless links in- troduces dependencies among flows that do not share a single link or node. As a result, when designing a resource allocation scheme, be it a medium access scheduler…
This paper studies high-speed online planning in dynamic environments. The problem requires finding time-optimal trajectories that conform to system dynamics, meeting computational constraints for real-time adaptation, and accounting for…
High-performance industrial automation systems rely on tens of simultaneously active sensors and actuators and have stringent communication latency and reliability requirements. Current wireless technologies like WiFi, Bluetooth, and LTE…
In this paper, we present a control system that allows a drone to fly autonomously through a series of gates marked with ArUco tags. A simple and low-cost DJI Tello EDU quad-rotor platform was used. Based on the API provided by the…
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communications has drawn significant interest recently due to many advantages such as low cost, high mobility, and on-demand deployment. This paper addresses the issue of physical-layer security in a UAV…
Relay drones in delay-tolerant applications are dispatched to remote locations in order to gather data transmitted by a source node. Collected data are stored on the drones and delivered to one or multiple bases. This paper considers two…
The deployment of autonomous drone swarms in disaster response missions necessitates the development of flexible, scalable, and robust coordination systems. Traditional fixed architectures struggle to cope with dynamic and unpredictable…
This article proposes a new Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operation paradigm to enable a large number of relatively low-cost UAVs to fly beyond-line-of-sight without costly sensing and communication systems or substantial human intervention…
In multi-robot systems where a central decision maker is specifying the movement of each individual robot, a communication failure can severely impair the performance of the system. This paper develops a motion strategy that allows robots…
In this paper, we employ multiple UAVs to accelerate data transmissions from ground users (GUs) to a remote base station (BS) via the UAVs' relay communications. The UAVs' intermittent information exchanges typically result in delays in…
Advances in the Internet of Things are revolutionizing data acquisition, enhancing artificial intelligence and quality of service. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide an efficient data-gathering solution across varied environments. This…
This study explores how a swarm of aerial mobile vehicles can provide network connectivity and meet the stringent requirements of public protection and disaster relief operations. In this context, we design a physics-based controlled…
As the number of unauthorized operations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is rising, the implementation of a versatile counter-drone system is becoming a necessity. In this work, we develop a drone-based counter-drone system, that employs…
Time delays in communication networks are one of the main concerns in deploying robots with computation boards on the edge. This article proposes a multi-stage Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) that is capable of handling varying…
The remote identification (Remote ID) broadcast capability allows unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to exchange messages, which is a pivotal technology for inter-UAV communications. Although this capability enhances the operational…
