In recent years, many efforts have been addressed on collision avoidance of collectively moving agents. In this paper, we propose a modified version of the Vicsek model with adaptive speed, which can guarantee the absence of collisions.…
In decentralized multi-robot navigation, ensuring safe and efficient movement with limited environmental awareness remains a challenge. While robots traditionally navigate based on local observations, this approach falters in complex…
We study the ability of autonomous vehicles to improve the throughput of a bottleneck using a fully decentralized control scheme in a mixed autonomy setting. We consider the problem of improving the throughput of a scaled model of the San…
In distributed mobile sensing applications, networks of agents that are heterogeneous respecting both actuation as well as body and sensory footprint are often modelled by recourse to power diagrams --- generalized Voronoi diagrams with…
Building vehicles capable of operating without human supervision requires the determination of the agent's pose. Visual Odometry (VO) algorithms estimate the egomotion using only visual changes from the input images. The most recent VO…
This paper addresses the problem of decentralized abstractions for multiple mobile manipulators with 2nd order dynamics. In particular, we propose decentralized controllers for the navigation of each agent among predefined regions of…
One of the most critical applications undertaken by coalitions of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) is reaching predefined targets by following the most time-efficient routes while avoiding collisions.…
In this paper we propose MA-DV2F: Multi-Agent Dynamic Velocity Vector Field. It is a framework for simultaneously controlling a group of vehicles in challenging environments. DV2F is generated for each vehicle independently and provides a…
Major cause of midvehicle collision is due to the distraction of drivers in both the Front and rear-end vehicle witnessed in dense traffic and high speed road conditions. In view of this scenario, a crash detection and collision avoidance…
Efficient navigation in dynamic environments is crucial for autonomous robots interacting with moving agents and static obstacles. We present a novel deep reinforcement learning approach that improves robot navigation and interaction with…
In this article, we develop a decentralized resource allocation mechanism for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication systems based on deep reinforcement learning. Each V2V link is considered as an agent, making its own decisions to find…
Deep reinforcement learning has shown promise in various engineering applications, including vehicular traffic control. The non-stationary nature of traffic, especially in the lane-free environment with more degrees of freedom in vehicle…
This paper presents a distributed adaptive control strategy for multi-agent systems with heterogeneous dynamics and collision avoidance. We propose an adaptive control strategy designed to ensure leader-following formation consensus while…
In this paper we treat optimal trajectory planning for an autonomous vehicle (AV) operating in dense traffic, where vehicles closely interact with each other. To tackle this problem, we present a novel framework that couples trajectory…
Recent work in decentralized, schedule-driven traffic control has demonstrated the ability to improve the efficiency of traffic flow in complex urban road networks. In this approach, a scheduling agent is associated with each intersection.…
The steady increase in the number of vehicles operating on the highways continues to exacerbate congestion, accidents, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. Emerging mobility systems, e.g., connected and automated vehicles…
Detection of moving objects is an essential capability in dealing with dynamic environments. Most moving object detection algorithms have been designed for color images without depth. For robotic navigation where real-time RGB-D data is…
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have the potential to prevent accidents caused by drivers errors and reduce road traffic risks. Due to the nature of heavy vehicles, whose collisions cause more serious crashes, the weights of vehicles need to be…
This paper addresses the problem of position- and orientation-based formation control of a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems in a $3$D workspace with obstacles. More specifically, we design a decentralized control protocol…
We present a comprehensive two-layer Voronoi coverage control approach for coordinating hybrid aerial-ground robot teams in hazardous material emergency response scenarios. Traditional Voronoi coverage control methods face three critical…
