Perception-Aware Communication-Free Multi-UAV Coordination in the Wild
Manuel Boldrer, Michal Kamler, Afzal Ahmad +1
We present a communication-free method for safe multi-robot coordination in complex environments such as forests with dense canopy cover, where GNSS is unavailable. Our approach re…
Distributed Lloyd-Based algorithm for uncertainty-aware multi-robot under-canopy flocking
Manuel Boldrer, Vit Kratky, Viktor Walter +1
In this letter, we present a distributed algorithm for flocking in complex environments that operates at constant altitude, without explicit communication, no a priori information…
Aerial Robots Persistent Monitoring and Target Detection: Deployment and Assessment in the Field
Manuel Boldrer, Vit Kratky, Martin Saska
In this article, we present a distributed algorithm for multi-robot persistent monitoring and target detection. In particular, we propose a novel solution that effectively integrat…
Distributed Attack-Resilient Platooning Against False Data Injection
Lorenzo Lyons, Manuel Boldrer, Laura Ferranti
This paper presents a novel distributed vehicle platooning control and coordination strategy. We propose a distributed predecessor-follower CACC scheme that allows to choose an arb…
Rule-Based Lloyd Algorithm for Multi-Robot Motion Planning and Control with Safety and Convergence Guarantees
Manuel Boldrer, Alvaro Serra-Gomez, Lorenzo Lyons +3
This paper presents a distributed rule-based Lloyd algorithm (RBL) for multi-robot motion planning and control. The main limitations of the basic Loyd-based algorithm (LB) concern…
