Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are now becoming increasingly accessible to amateur and commercial users alike. An air traffic management (ATM) system is needed to help ensure that this newest entrant into the skies does not collide with…

This paper considers a patrol inspection scenario where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are adopted to traverse multiple predetermined cruise points for data collection. The UAVs are connected to cellular networks and they would…

This paper proposes a time-efficient mechanism to decrease the on-line computing time of solving the joint unmanned aerial vehicle base station (UAV-BS) deployment and user/sensor association (UDUA) problem aiming at maximizing the downlink…

Multi-UAV pursuit-evasion, where pursuers aim to capture evaders, poses a key challenge for UAV swarm intelligence. Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has demonstrated potential in modeling cooperative behaviors, but most RL-based…

This work considers a multiplayer reach-avoid game between two adversarial teams in a general convex domain which consists of a target region and a play region. The evasion team, initially lying in the play region, aims to send as many its…

This paper introduces a method for effectively controlling the movement of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) within a tunnel. The primary challenge of this problem lies in the UAV's exposure to nonlinear distance-dependent torques and forces…

Multiple fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs) encounter significant challenges in cooperative path following over complex Digital Elevation Model (DEM) low-altitude airspace, including wind field disturbances, sudden obstacles,…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are now becoming increasingly accessible to amateur and commercial users alike. The main task for UAVs is to keep a prescribed separation with obstacles in the air. In this paper, a collision-avoidance…

This work considers covert communications in the context of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks, aiming to hide a UAV for transmitting critical information out of a scenario that is monitored and where communication is not allowed.…

In this paper, we propose to deploy multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounted base stations to serve ground users in outdoor environments with obstacles. In particular, the geographic information is employed to capture the blockage…

Robotic access monitoring of multiple target areas has applications including checkpoint enforcement, surveillance and containment of fire and flood hazards. Monitoring access for a single target region has been successfully modeled as a…

The paper presents a two-stage stochastic program to model a routing problem involving an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in the context of patrolling missions. In particular, given a set of targets and a set of supplemental targets…

This article presents a closed-loop, uncertainty-aware framework for defending a protected zone against coordinated incursions by swarms of small uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS). The interaction structure of the attackers is modeled as…

This paper studies the collision avoidance problem for autonomous multiple fixedwing UAVs in the complex integrated airspace. By studying and combining the online path planning method, the distributed model predictive control algorithm, and…

This paper addresses the challenge of navigating unmanned aerial vehicles in contested environments by introducing a cooperative multi-agent framework that increases the likelihood of safe UAV traversal. The approach involves two types of…

This paper studies a multi-robot visibility-based pursuit-evasion problem in which a group of pursuer robots are tasked with detecting an evader within a two dimensional polygonal environment. The primary contribution is a novel formulation…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly prevalent in various domains, ranging from military operations to civilian applications. However, the proliferation of UAVs has also given rise to concerns regarding their potential…

For scenes such as floods and earthquakes, the disaster area is large, and rescue time is tight. Multi-UAV exploration is more efficient than a single UAV. Existing UAV exploration work is modeled as a Coverage Path Planning (CPP) task to…

This paper addresses security challenges in multi-robot systems (MRS) where adversaries may compromise robot control, risking unauthorized access to forbidden areas. We propose a novel multi-robot optimal planning algorithm that integrates…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is becoming increasingly important in modern civilian and military applications. However, its novel use cases is bottlenecked by conventional satellite and terrestrial localization technologies, and calling for…
