In this paper we consider the problem of monitoring detecting separation of agents from a base station in robotic and sensor networks. Such separation can be caused by mobility an...
We present the definition and performance evaluation of a protocol for building and maintaining a connected backbone among the nodes of a wireless sensor networks (WSN). Building ...
Self-reconfigurable or metamorphic robots can change their individual and collective shape and size to meet operational demands. Since these robots are constructed from a set of a...
A distributed robot control system is proposed based on a temporal self-organizing neural network, called competitive and temporal Hebbian (CTH) network. The CTH network can learn ...
