Interest on using mobile autonomous agents has been growing, recently, due to their capacity to cooperate for diverse purposes, from rescue to demining and security. However, such...
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent an important class of networked robotic applications that must be both highly dependable and autonomous. This paper addresses sensor deplo...
— 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...
- Exploration is the fundamental task of guiding a robot autonomously during mapping so that it covers the entire environment with its sensors. In the frontier-based exploration, a...
Abstract. Robots coordinate among themselves to select one of them to respond to an event reported to one of robots. The goal is to minimize the communication cost of selecting bes...
