Abstract—This paper presents an information-theoretic approach to sensor placement that incorporates communication capacity into an optimal formulation. A new formulation is pres...
—Coalescence is the problem of isolated mobile robots independently searching for peers with the goal of forming a single connected network. This paper analyzes coalescence time ...
—The vision of network robot systems involves robots embedded in smart environments, with which they can collaborate and communicate. In such systems, robots have access to many ...
— The integration of advanced computation, wireless communication, and control technologies has facilitated the creation of autonomous robot swarms for many civil and military ap...
—The fields of autonomous robotics and ambient intelligence are converging toward the vision of smart robotic environments, in which tasks are performed via the cooperation of m...
— The objective of this paper is decentralized swarm aggregation with collision avoidance. Specifically, each agent is assigned with a control law which is the sum of two elemen...
