In this paper, we propose a distributed solution to the navigation of a population of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to best localize a static source. The network is considered heterogeneous with UAVs equipped with received signal strength…

We introduce a new graph neural operator-based approach for task allocation in a system of heterogeneous robots composed of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The proposed model, \texttt{\method}, or…

Over the past few years, a plethora of advancements in Unmanned Areal Vehicle (UAV) technology has paved the way for UAV-based search and rescue operations with transformative impact to the outcome of critical life-saving missions. This…

To ensure safety in confined environments such as mines or subway tunnels, a (wireless) sensor network can be deployed to monitor various environmental conditions. One of its most important applications is to track personnel, mobile…

Extended target tracking estimates the centroid and shape of the target in space and time. In various situations where extended target tracking is applicable, the presence of multiple targets can lead to interference, particularly when they…

In this paper we study the distance-based docking problem of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by using a single landmark placed at an arbitrarily unknown position. To solve the problem, we propose an integrated estimation-control scheme to…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been increasingly used in the context of remote sensing missions such as target search and tracking, mapping, or surveillance monitoring. In the first part of our paper we consider agent dynamics,…

Rendezvous is an old problem of assuring that two or more parties, initially separated, not knowing the position of each other, and not allowed to communicate, meet without pre-agreement on the meeting point. This problem has been…

This paper investigates the task assignment problem for multiple dispersed robots constrained by limited communication range. The robots are initially randomly distributed and need to visit several target locations while minimizing the…

Robotic access monitoring of multiple target areas has applications including checkpoint enforcement, surveillance and containment of fire and flood hazards. Monitoring access for a single target region has been successfully modeled as a…

In this work, we investigate the performance of a joint sensing and communication (JSC) network consisting of multiple base stations (BSs) that cooperate through a fusion center (FC) to exchange information about the sensed environment…

Search and Rescue (SAR) missions in remote environments often employ autonomous multi-robot systems that learn, plan, and execute a combination of local single-robot control actions, group primitives, and global mission-oriented…

A GPS-denied UAV (Agent B) is localised through INS alignment with the aid of a nearby GPS-equipped UAV (Agent A), which broadcasts its position at several time instants. Agent B measures the signals' direction of arrival with respect to…

Tracking multiple targets in dynamic environments using distributed sensor networks is a challenging problem for situational awareness in connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs). In such scenarios, the network of mobile sensors must coordinate…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have attracted plenty of attention due to their high flexibility and enhanced communication ability. However, the limited coverage and energy of UAVs make it difficult to provide timely wireless service for…

The optimal cooperative guidance in the nonlinear setting for intercepting a target by multiple pursuers is studied in the paper. As certain relative angles can improve observability, the guidance command is required to cooperatively…

A common approach for modeling the environment of an autonomous vehicle are dynamic occupancy grid maps, in which the surrounding is divided into cells, each containing the occupancy and velocity state of its location. Despite the advantage…

In this work, we study the problem where a group of mobile agents needs to reach a set of goal locations, but it does not matter which agent reaches a specific goal. Unlike most of the existing works on this topic that typically assume the…

The problem of target tracking with multiple robots consists of actively planning the motion of the robots to track the targets. A major challenge for practical deployments is to make the robots resilient to failures. In particular, robots…

This paper addresses the problem of consensus tracking with fixed-time convergence, for leader-follower multi-agent systems with double-integrator dynamics, where only a subset of followers has access to the state of the leader. The control…
