Most consumer-level low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have limited battery power and long charging time. Due to these energy constraints, they cannot accomplish many practical tasks, such as monitoring a sport or political event for…

We present a hybrid compositional approach for real-time mission planning for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a time critical search and rescue scenario. Starting with a known environment, we specify the mission using Metric…

This paper presents a new method for integrated time-optimal routing and trajectory optimization of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Our approach extends the well-known Traveling Salesman Problem by accounting for the limited…

In this paper, two cooperative guidance laws based on the area around the target of multiattackers are designed to deal with the problem of cooperative encirclement or simultaneous attack in the case of known target acceleration and unknown…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can provide wireless access to terrestrial users, regardless of geographical constraints, and will be an important part of future communication systems. In this paper, a multi-user downlink dual-UAVs enabled…

In this paper, we consider an unmanned aerial vehicle-enabled interference channel (UAV-IC), where each of the $K$ UAVs communicates with its associated ground terminals (GTs) at the same time and over the same spectrum. To exploit the new…

Over the last decade, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has greatly increased, and they are being used in many fields including surveillance, crisis management or automated mission planning. This last field implies the search…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play a crucial role in Maritime Search and Rescue (MSAR), contributing to the improvement of rescue efficiency and reduction of casualties. Typically, UAVs equipped with cameras collect data from disaster…

As the market for commercially available unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) booms, there is an increasing number of small, teleoperated or autonomous aircraft found in protected or sensitive airspace. Existing solutions for removal of these…

This paper presents a robust and secure framework for achieving accurate and reliable mutual localization in multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems. Challenges of accurate localization and security threats are addressed and…

This paper introduces MRTA-Sim, a Python/ROS2/Gazebo simulator for testing approaches to Multi-Robot Task Allocation (MRTA) problems on simulated robots in complex, indoor environments. Grid-based approaches to MRTA problems can be too…

Fast moving unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are well suited for aerial surveillance, but are limited by their battery capacity. To increase their endurance UAVs can be refueled on slow moving unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The cooperative…

Motivated by security needs in unmanned aerial system (UAS) operations, an algorithm for identifying airspace intruders (e.g., birds vs. drones) is developed. The algorithm is structured to use sensed intruder velocity data from…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarm systems necessitate efficient collaborative perception mechanisms for diverse operational scenarios. Current Bird's Eye View (BEV)-based approaches exhibit two main limitations: bounding-box…

This paper considers a pursuit-evasion scenario among three agents -- an evader, a pursuer, and a defender. We design cooperative guidance laws for the evader and the defender team to safeguard the evader from an attacking pursuer. Unlike…

A runtime assurance system (RTA) for a given plant enables the exercise of an untrusted or experimental controller while assuring safety with a backup (or safety) controller. The relevant computational design problem is to create a logic…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are poised to revolutionize communications. Utilizing their flexibility and fast deployment, we can deliver content in congested areas or provide services in areas without infrastructure. In this paper, we…

Recently, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) assisted multi-access edge computing (MEC) systems emerged as a promising solution for providing computation services to mobile users outside of terrestrial infrastructure coverage. As each UAV…

This work presents an efficient and implementable solution to the problem of joint task allocation and path planning in a multi-UAV platform deployed for biometric data collection in-the-wild. The sensing requirement associated with the…

A framework is introduced for planning unmanned aerial vehicle flight paths for visual surveillance of ground targets, each having particular viewing requirements. Specifically, each target is associated with a set of imaging parameters,…
