Path Planning and Task Assignment for Data Retrieval from Wireless Sensor Nodes Relying on Game-Theoretic Learning
Sotiris Papatheodorou, Michalis Smyrnakis, Tembine Hamidou +1
The energy-efficient trip allocation of mobile robots employing differential drives for data retrieval from stationary sensor locations is the scope of this article. Given a team o…
Cooperative Visual Convex Area Coverage using a Tessellation-free Strategy
Sotiris Papatheodorou, Anthony Tzes
The objective in this article is to develop a control strategy for coverage purposes of a convex region by a fleet of Mobile Aerial Agents (MAAs). Each MAA is equipped with a downw…
Using Circulation to Mitigate Spurious Equilibria in Control Barrier Function -- Extended Version
Vinicius Mariano Goncalves, Prashanth Krishnamurthy, Anthony Tzes +1
Control Barrier Functions and Quadratic Programming are increasingly used for designing controllers that consider critical safety constraints. However, like Artificial Potential Fi…
Distributed surveillance by a swarm of UAVs operating under positional uncertainty
Nikolaos Bousias, Sotiris Papatheodorou, Mariliza Tzes +1
This article proposes a collaborative control framework for an autonomous aerial swarm tasked with the surveillance of a convex region of interest. Each Mobile Aerial Agent (MAA) i…
Distributed area coverage control with imprecise robot localization: Simulation and experimental studies
Sotiris Papatheodorou, Anthony Tzes, Konstantinos Giannousakis +1
This article examines the area coverage problem for a network of mobile robots with imprecise agents' localization. Each robot has uniform radial sensing ability, governed by first…
Collaborative Visual Area Coverage
Sotiris Papatheodorou, Anthony Tzes, Yiannis Stergiopoulos
This article examines the problem of visual area coverage by a network of Mobile Aerial Agents (MAAs). Each MAA is assumed to be equipped with a downwards facing camera with a coni…
Collaborative Visual Area Coverage using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Sotiris Papatheodorou, Anthony Tzes, Yiannis Stergiopoulos
This article addresses the visual area coverage problem using a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The UAVs are assumed to be equipped with a downward facing camera covering…
