— A key problem in deploying sensor networks in real-world applications is that of mapping, i.e. determining the location of each sensor such that subsequent tasks such as tracki...
—The simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problem asks if it is possible for an autonomous vehicle to start in an unknown location in an unknown environment and then...

This paper studies connectivity maintenance in robotic networks. We propose a distributed coordination algorithm that can be combined with the individual motion control strategies ...
Efficiently self organizing a network hierarchy with specific assignment of roles (or tasks) to sensors based on their physical wireless connectivity and sensing characteristics ...
