— As mobile robots become increasingly autonomous over extended periods of time, opportunities arise for their use on repetitive tasks. We define and implement behaviors for a c...
— We examine a team of robots with no centralized control performing a transportation task in which robots frequently interfere with each other, thus impairing overall team’s p...
— Mobile robots have successfully solved many real world problems. In the following we present the use of mobile robots to address the novel and challenging problem of providing ...
– In this paper, we proposed an improved algorithm for the multi-robot complete coverage problem. Real world applications such as lawn mowing, chemical spill clean-up, and humani...
— In this paper, we consider the problem of exploring an unknown environment with a team of mobile robots. One of the key issues in multi-robot exploration is how to assign targe...
— As we progress towards a world where robots play an integral role in society, a critical problem that remains to be solved is the Pickup Team Challenge; that is, dynamically fo...

— The dangerous and time sensitive nature of a disaster area makes it an ideal application for robotic exploration. Our long term goal is to enable humans, software agents, and a...
Mobile robot teams are particularly suited to applications where infrastructure is unavailable or damaged since they can be used to quickly form an infrastructure-less mobile ad h...
