Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), although adept at aerial surveillance, are often constrained by limited battery capacity. By refueling on slow-moving Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), their operational endurance can be significantly…

We present the Robotics Intelligent Systems & Control (RISC) Lab multiagent testbed for reliable search and rescue and aerial transport in outdoor environments. The system consists of a team of three multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles…

In this paper, we consider the problem of caging and eventual capture of an underwater entity using multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) in a 3D water volume We solve this problem both with and without taking bathymetry into…

The Internet of underwater things (IoUT) is envisioned to be an essential part of maritime activities. Given the IoUT devices' wide-area distribution and constrained transmit power, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have been widely…

Computer Use Agents (CUAs) translate natural-language instructions into Graphical User Interface (GUI) actions such as clicks, keystrokes, and scrolls by relying on a Vision-Language Model (VLM) to interpret screenshots and predict grounded…

In the post-fifth generation (5G) era, escalating user quality of service (QoS) strains terrestrial network capacity, especially in urban areas with dynamic traffic distributions. This paper introduces a novel cooperative unmanned aerial…

This paper studies a heterogeneous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) cooperative search approach suitable for complex environments. In the application, a fixed-wing UAV drops rotor UAVs to deploy the cluster rapidly. Meanwhile, the fixed-wing…

This paper describes the design of a miniature uncrewed underwater vehicle (MiniUUV) and related instrumentation for indoor experimentation. The MiniUUV was developed using 3D printed components and low-cost, off-the-shelf electronics. The…

Controlling a fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles can be challenging due to low bandwidth communication between agents. This paper proposes to address this challenge by optimizing the quantization design of the communications between…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly prominence in recent years, finding applications in surveillance, package delivery, among many others. Despite considerable efforts in developing algorithms that enable UAVs to…

The increasing complexity of underwater robotic systems has led to a surge in simulation platforms designed to support perception, planning, and control tasks in marine environments. However, selecting the most appropriate underwater…

Self-adaptation is a crucial feature of autonomous systems that must cope with uncertainties in, e.g., their environment and their internal state. Self-adaptive systems are often modelled as two-layered systems with a managed subsystem…

This paper presents an experimental measurement platform for the research and development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) localization algorithms using radio emission and reflectivity. We propose a cost-effective, flexible testbed made…

Self-assembly enables multi-robot systems to merge diverse capabilities and accomplish tasks beyond the reach of individual robots. Incorporating varied docking mechanisms layouts (DMLs) can enhance robot versatility or reduce costs.…

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) promise next-gen transportation systems with enhanced safety, energy efficiency, and sustainability. One typical control strategy for CAVs is the so-called cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC)…
