Vehicle platooning has attracted increasing attention as a promising approach to improve traffic efficiency, energy consumption, and roadway safety through coordinated multi-vehicle operation. A key challenge in platooning lies in…
The fast urbanization and climate change challenges require solutions that enable the efficient movement of people and goods in cities. We envision future cities to be composed of high-performing walkable districts where transportation…
This paper presents a novel approach to coordinated vehicle platooning, where the platoon followers communicate solely with the platoon leader. A dynamic model is proposed to account for driving safety under communication delays. General…
Cooperative autonomous driving plays a pivotal role in improving road capacity and safety within intelligent transportation systems, particularly through the deployment of autonomous vehicles on urban streets. By enabling vehicle-to-vehicle…
Vehicle platooning facilitates the partial automation of vehicles and can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Mobile communication infrastructure makes it possible to dynamically coordinate the formation of platoons en route. We consider…
This paper presents a novel methodology that allows a swarm of robots to perform a cooperative transportation task. Our approach consists of modeling the swarm as a {\em Gibbs Random Field} (GRF), taking advantage of this framework's…
Vehicle platooning is an automated driving technology that enables a group of vehicles to travel very closely together as a single unit to improve fuel efficiency and driver safety and reduces CO2 emission. The significant benefits of…
In this paper, we propose a swarming approach and optimize the one-hop delay for interplatoon communications through adjusting the minimum contention window size of each backbone vehicle in two steps. In the first step, we first set a small…
This paper proposes a novel swarm-based control algorithm for exploration and coverage of unknown environments, while maintaining a formation that permits short-range communication. The algorithm combines two elements: swarm rules for…
Urban traffic congestion is a chronic problem faced by many cities. It is essentially inefficient infrastructure use which results in increased vehicle fuel consumption and emissions. This in turn adds extra costs to commuters and…
Robot swarm is a hot spot in robotic research community. In this paper, we propose a decentralized framework for car-like robotic swarm which is capable of real-time planning in cluttered environments. In this system, path finding is guided…
Swarm robotics utilises decentralised self-organising systems to form complex collective behaviours built from the bottom-up using individuals that have limited capabilities. Previous work has shown that simple occlusion-based strategies…
Motion planning is an essential part of autonomous mobile platforms. A good pipeline should be modular enough to handle different vehicles, environments, and perception modules. The planning process has to cope with all the different…
Platoons, vehicles that travel very close together acting as one, promise to improve road usage on freeways and city roads alike. We study platoon formation in the context of same-day delivery in urban environments. Multiple self-interested…
In this paper we propose a distributed model predictive control architecture to coordinate the longitudinal motion of a vehicle platoon at a signalized intersection. Our control approach is cooperative; we use vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)…
We present a system to coordinate 'urban mobility swarms' in order to promote the use and safety of lightweight, sustainable transit, while enhancing the vibrancy and community fabric of cities. This work draws from behavior exhibited by…
In comparison with existing approaches, which struggle with scalability, communication dependency, and robustness against dynamic failures, cooperative aerial transportation via robot swarms holds transformative potential for logistics and…
Swarm robotics is a creative method of organizing multi-robot structures, consisting of many basic robots influenced by communal insects. The greatest astonishing attribute of swarm robots is their capacity to function together to…
We propose a decentralized algorithm to collaboratively transport arbitrarily shaped objects using a swarm of robots. Our approach starts with a task allocation phase that sequentially distributes locations around the object to be…
Platooning on highways with connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) has attracted considerable attention, while how to mange and coordinate platoons in urban networks remains largely an open question. This scientific gap mainly results from…
