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…
Distributed Area Coverage Control with Imprecise Robot Localization
Sotiris Papatheodorou, Yiannis Stergiopoulos, Anthony Tzes
This article examines the problem of area coverage for a network of mobile robots with imprecise agent localization. Each robot has uniform radial sensing ability, governed by firs…
Efficient Submap-based Autonomous MAV Exploration using Visual-Inertial SLAM Configurable for LiDARs or Depth Cameras
Sotiris Papatheodorou, Simon Boche, Sebastián Barbas Laina +1
Autonomous exploration of unknown space is an essential component for the deployment of mobile robots in the real world. Safe navigation is crucial for all robotics applications an…
Control-Barrier-Aided Teleoperation with Visual-Inertial SLAM for Safe MAV Navigation in Complex Environments
Siqi Zhou, Sotiris Papatheodorou, Stefan Leutenegger +1
In this paper, we consider a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) system teleoperated by a non-expert and introduce a perceptive safety filter that leverages Control Barrier Functions (CBFs)…
Scalable Outdoors Autonomous Drone Flight with Visual-Inertial SLAM and Dense Submaps Built without LiDAR
Sebastián Barbas Laina, Simon Boche, Sotiris Papatheodorou +4
Autonomous navigation is needed for several robotics applications. In this paper we present an autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) system which purely relies on cost-effective an…
