Swarms of autonomous agents are useful in many applications due to their ability to accomplish tasks in a decentralized manner, making them more robust to failures. Due to the difficulty in running experiments with large numbers of hardware…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms are increasingly deployed in vast low-altitude applications, owing to their capabilities in distributed sensing, flexible communication, and autonomous coordination. Nevertheless, the open and highly…

Swarming behavior, where coherent motion emerges from the interactions of many mobile agents, is ubiquitous in physics and biology. Moreover, there are many efforts to replicate swarming dynamics in mobile robotic systems which take…

Swarms of drones are being more and more used in many practical scenarios, such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, search and rescue in hardly-accessible areas, etc.. While a single drone can be guided by a human operator, the…

Vehicle platooning with Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control improves traffic efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and enhances safety but remains vulnerable to cyber-attacks that disrupt communication and cause unsafe actions. To address…

In the event of natural or man-made disasters in an urban environment, such as fires, floods, and earthquakes, a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can rapidly sweep and provide coverage to monitor the area of interest and locate…

Platooning of vehicles with coordinated adaptive cruise control (CACC) capabilities is a promising technology with a strong potential for fuel savings and congestion mitigation. Although some researchers have studied the vehicle-level fuel…

There are many situations where vehicles may compete with each other to maximize their respective utilities.We consider a narrow alley where two groups, eastbound and westbound, of autonomous vehicles are heading toward each of their…

We study intersection access control for autonomous vehicles. Platoon forming algorithms, which aim to organize individual vehicles in platoons, are very promising. To create those platoons, we slow down vehicles before the actual arrival…

This paper aims to solve the coordination of a team of robots traversing a route in the presence of adversaries with random positions. Our goal is to minimize the overall cost of the team, which is determined by (i) the accumulated risk…

Cooperative vehicle platooning significantly improves highway safety, fuel efficiency, and traffic flow. In this model, a set of vehicles move in line formation and coordinate acceleration, braking, and steering using a combination of…

Platooning of vehicles is a promising approach for reducing fuel consumption, increasing vehicle safety, and using road space more efficiently. We consider the important but difficult problem of assigning optimal routes and departure…

Swarm robotic systems are mainly inspired by swarms of socials insects and the collective emergent behavior that arises from their cooperation at the lower lever. Despite the limited sensory ability, computational power, and communication…

Internet of vehicles is a promising area related to D2D communication and internet of things. We present a novel perspective for vehicular communications, social vehicle swarms, to study and analyze socially aware internet of vehicles with…

Connected vehicular platoons provide a promising solution to improve traffic efficiency and ensure road safety. Vehicles in a platoon utilize on-board sensors and wireless vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) links to share traffic information for…

With increasing numbers of mobile robots arriving in real-world applications, more robots coexist in the same space, interact, and possibly collaborate. Methods to provide such systems with system size scalability are known, for example,…

Despite growing interest in vehicle platooning research, the effect of communication capability between platoons is not investigated to a depth of depth. In this paper, we extend a single-platoon car-following (CF) model to multi-platoon CF…
