Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become a focal point of research, with both established companies and startups investing heavily in their development. This paper presents our iterative process in developing a robust autonomous…

This paper investigates a novel unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) secure communication system with the assistance of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), where an UAV and a ground user communicate with each other, while an eavesdropper…

We consider multi-agent systems with heterogeneous, nonlinear agents subject to individual constraints that want to achieve a periodic, dynamic cooperative control goal which can be characterised by a set and a suitable cost. We propose a…

This paper considers the problem of localization and circumnavigation of an unknown stationary target by a group of autonomous agents using only local bearing measurements. We assume that no direct communication or exchange of information…

As autonomous robotic systems become increasingly mature, users will want to specify missions at the level of intent rather than in low-level detail. Language is an expressive and intuitive medium for such mission specification. However,…

In this paper, we investigate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assistant air-to-ground communication system, where multiple UAVs form a UAV-enabled virtual antenna array (UVAA) to communicate with remote base stations by utilizing…

This paper introduces a trajectory planning algorithm for search and coverage missions with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based on an uncertainty map that represents prior knowledge of the target region, modeled by a Gaussian Mixture…

Rendezvous aims at gathering all robots at a specific location, which is an important collaborative behavior for multi-robot systems. However, in an unknown environment, it is challenging to achieve rendezvous. Previous researches mainly…

This paper develops and evaluates the performance of an allocation agent to be potentially integrated into the onboard Detect and Avoid (DAA) computer of an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). We consider a UAS that can be fully controlled by…

Controlling a fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles can be challenging due to low bandwidth communication between agents. This paper proposes to address this challenge by optimizing the quantization design of the communications between…

The recent progress in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) technology has significantly advanced UAV-based applications for military, civil, and commercial domains. Nevertheless, the challenges of establishing high-speed communication links,…

We study the problem of planning a tour for an energy-limited Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to visit a set of sites in the least amount of time. We envision scenarios where the UAV can be recharged along the way either by landing on…

Demand for fast and inexpensive parcel deliveries in urban environments has risen considerably in recent years. A framework is envisioned to enforce efficient last mile delivery in urban environments by leveraging a network of ride-sharing…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been extensively utilized to provide wireless connectivity in rural and under-developed areas, enhance network capacity and provide support for peaks or unexpected surges in user demand, mainly due to…

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 proposes a real-time movement control algorithm for massive unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that provide emergency cellular connections in an urban disaster site. While avoiding the inter-UAV collision under temporal wind…
