Autonomous mobile robots are considered a valuable technology for search and rescue applications, where an initially unknown environment has to be explored to locate human victims...
Consider a group of autonomous, mobile robots with the ability to physically connect to one another (self-assemble). The group is said to exhibit functional self-assembly if the ro...
NASA’s Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) have collected a great diversity of geological science results, thanks in large part to their surface mobility capabilities. The six wheel r...

Often remote investigations use autonomous agents to observe an environment on behalf of absent scientists. Predictive exploration improves these systems’ efficiency with onboa...
Much of the focus of the research effort in path planning for mobile robots has centred on the problem of finding a path from a start location to a goal location, while minimising...
