Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) play a pivotal role in ensuring seamless connectivity for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, particularly in scenarios where conventional terrestrial networks are constrained or temporarily unavailable.…

There is a desire to move towards more flexible and automated factories. To enable this, we need to assure the safety of these dynamic factories. This safety assurance must be achieved in a manner that does not unnecessarily constrain the…

Inspecting indoor environments such as tunnels, industrial facilities, and construction sites is essential for infrastructure monitoring and maintenance. While manual inspection in these environments is often time-consuming and potentially…

This paper presents an adaptive coverage control method for a fleet of off-road and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) operating in dynamic (time-varying) agricultural environments. Traditional coverage control approaches often assume static…

With the advent of 5G and beyond, using wireless communication for closed-loop control and automation processes is one of the main aspects of the envisioned Industry 4.0. In this regard, a major challenge is to ensure a robust and stable…

In this paper, we present an approach for coverage path planning for a team of an energy-constrained Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). Both the UAV and the UGV have predefined areas that they have to cover.…

In this paper, we present a cloud based Automated Guided vehicle (AGV) control system. A controller in an Edge cloud sends the control inputs to an AGV to follow a predefined reference track over a wireless channel. The AGV feedback the…

Road potholes threaten driving safety and increase infrastructure maintenance costs, while large-scale and timely pothole detection remains challenging in urban road networks. Vehicle-mounted vibration sensing offers a low-cost and scalable…

Robotic inspection of radioactive areas enables operators to be removed from hazardous environments; however, planning and operating in confined, cluttered environments remain challenging. These systems must autonomously reconstruct the…

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are essential in various industries for their efficiency and adaptability. However, planning trajectories for AGVs in obstacle-dense, unstructured environments presents significant challenges due to the…

This work proposes a coverage controller that enables an aerial team of distributed autonomous agents to collaboratively generate non-myopic coverage plans over a rolling finite horizon, aiming to cover specific points on the surface area…

Wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to several attacks, one of them being the black hole attack. A black hole is a malicious node that attracts all the traffic in the network by advertising that it has the shortest path in the network.…

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…

Platoon formation with connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in a mixed traffic environment poses significant challenges due to the presence of human-driven vehicles (HDVs) with unknown dynamics and control actions. In this paper, we…

AGVs are driverless robotic vehicles that picks up and delivers materials. How to improve the efficiency while preventing deadlocks is the core issue in designing AGV systems. In this paper, we propose an approach to tackle this problem.The…

This work presents a harmonic design of autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) control, edge intelligence, and human input to enable autonomous transportation in industrial environments. The AGV has the capability to navigate between a source and…

The malfunction of safety-critical systems may cause damage to people and the environment. Software within those systems is rigorously designed and verified according to domain specific guidance, such as ISO26262 for automotive safety. This…

This paper explores the potential benefits and challenges of integrating Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Autonomous Ground Vehicles (AGVs) in industrial settings to improve sustainability and operational efficiency. While EVs offer…

Congestion is said to occur in the network when the resource demands exceed the capacity and packets are lost due to too much queuing in the network. During congestion, the network throughput may drop to zero and the path delay may become…

Indoor infrastructure inspection, such as tunnels and industrial facilities, requires systematic surface coverage to ensure that all inspection targets are properly observed. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer an alternative to manual…
