Collision-free motion is a fundamental requirement for many autonomous systems. This paper develops a safety-critical control approach for the collision-free navigation of polytope-shaped agents in polytope-shaped environments. A systematic…
A system of cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a group of agents interacting with each other and the surrounding environment to achieve a specific task. In contrast with a single UAV, UAV swarms are expected to benefit…
A decomposition-based coverage control scheme is proposed for multi-agent, persistent surveillance missions operating in a communication-constrained, dynamic environment. The proposed approach decouples high-level task assignment from…
Reliability is a critical aspect of multi-agent system coordination as it ensures that the system functions correctly and consistently. If one agent in the system fails or behaves unexpectedly, it can negatively impact the performance and…
This paper considers the problem of localization and circumnavigation of an unknown stationary target by a group of autonomous agents using only local bearing measurements. We assume that no direct communication or exchange of information…
Self-navigation in non-coordinating crowded environments is formidably challenging within multi-agent systems consisting of non-holonomic robots operating through local sensing. Our primary objective is the development of a novel, rapid,…
We present a communication-free method for safe multi-robot coordination in complex environments such as forests with dense canopy cover, where GNSS is unavailable. Our approach relies on an onboard anisotropic 3D LiDAR sensor used for SLAM…
This work investigates a collaborative sensing and data collection system in which multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) sense an area of interest and transmit images to a cloud server (CS) for processing. To accelerate the completion of…
This article presents a unique framework for deploying decentralized and infrastructure-independent swarms of homogeneous aerial vehicles in the real world without explicit communication. This is a requirement in swarm research, which…
Multi-swarm systems, where two or more swarms of mobile agents occupy the same region of space with different parameters and goals, occur in a variety of biological, engineering, and defense applications. Composites of multiple swarms can…
