This article studies the problem of reconstructing the topology of a network of interacting agents via observations of the state-evolution of the agents. We focus on the large-scale network setting with the additional constraint of…

The topology of a robotic swarm affects the convergence speed of consensus and the mobility of the robots. In this paper, we prove the existence of a complete set of local topology manipulation operations that allow the transformation of a…

The problem of distributed formation control of nonholonomic mobile robots is addressed in this paper, in which the robots are designed to track a formation. Collision avoidance among agents is guaranteed using a control law based on a…

Inferring network topology from smooth signals is a significant problem in data science and engineering. A common challenge in real-world scenarios is the availability of only partially observed nodes. While some studies have considered…

This paper tackles the problem of active planning to achieve cooperative localization for multi-robot systems (MRS) under measurement uncertainty in GNSS-limited scenarios. Specifically, we address the issue of accurately predicting the…

Systems of networked mobile robots, such as unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, will play important roles in future military and commercial applications. The communications for such systems will typically be over wireless links and may…

This paper investigates the resilient control, analysis, recovery, and operation of mobile robot networks in time-varying formation tracking under deception attacks on global positioning. Local and global tracking control algorithms are…

Complex network theory has recently been proposed as a promising tool for characterising interactions between aircraft, and their downstream effects. We here explore the problem of networks' topological predictability, i.e. the dependence…

Controlling a team of robots in a coordinated manner is challenging because centralized approaches (where all computation is performed on a central machine) scale poorly, and globally referenced external localization systems may not always…

In this letter, we investigate the formation control problem of mobile robots moving in the plane where, instead of assuming robots to be simple points, each robot is assumed to have the form of a disk with equal radius. Based on interior…

This work focuses on the persistent monitoring problem, where a set of targets moving based on an unknown model must be monitored by an autonomous mobile robot with a limited sensing range. To keep each target's position estimate as…

Despite the great success of using gradient-based controllers to stabilize rigid formations of autonomous agents in the past years, surprising yet intriguing undesirable collective motions have been reported recently when inconsistent…

Inference of the network structure (e.g., routing topology) and dynamics (e.g., link performance) is an essential component in many network design and management tasks. In this paper we propose a new, general framework for analyzing and…

This work is devoted to the problem of distributed target tracking when a team of robots detect the target through a variable perception-latency mechanism. A reference for the robots to track is constructed in terms of a desired formation…

Mobile robots are traditionally developed to be reactive and avoid collisions with surrounding humans, often moving in unnatural ways without following social protocols, forcing people to behave very differently from human-human interaction…

Robotic Manipulation (RM) is central to the advancement of autonomous robots, enabling them to interact with and manipulate objects in real-world environments. This survey focuses on RM methodologies that leverage imitation learning, a…

Limited presence of nodal and line meters in distribution grids hinders their optimal operation and participation in real-time markets. In particular lack of real-time information on the grid topology and infrequently calibrated line…

This paper addresses planning and control of robot motion under uncertainty that is formulated as a continuous-time, continuous-space stochastic optimal control problem, by developing a topology-guided path integral control method. The path…

We address the problem of inferring the topology of a wireless network using limited observational data. Specifically, we assume that we can detect when a node is transmitting, but no further information regarding the transmission is…

This paper studies the problem of integrated distributed network localization and formation maneuver control. We develop an integrated relative-measurement-based scheme, which only uses relative positions, distances, bearings, angles,…
