A multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) system is a group of vehicles that are designed
with the aim to perform some collective behavior. Coverage control is one of the most active …

The use of multiple heterogeneous cameras is becoming more common in today's
surveillance systems. In order to perform surveillance tasks, effective coordination and …

Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) provide a principled framework
for modeling an agent's decision-making problem when the agent needs to consider noisy …

In the context of a social gathering, such as a cocktail party, the memorable moments are
generally captured by professional photographers or by the participants. The latter case is …

Central to robot exploration and map** is the task of persistent localization in
environmental fields characterized by spatially correlated measurements. This paper …

In active perception tasks, an agent aims to select sensory actions that reduce its uncertainty
about one or more hidden variables. For example, a mobile robot takes sensory actions to …

Robotic space-exploration missions have always pushed the limits of science and
technology, and will continue to do so by their very nature. Such missions are particularly …

Large-area, high-resolution visual monitoring systems are indispensable in surveillance
applications. To construct such systems, high-quality image capture and display devices are …

In recent years, multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems have been an active research
area. Coverage problem is a basic task in multi unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). As UAVs …

We develop and implement a framework to address autonomous surveillance problems with
a collection of pan-tilt (PT) cameras. Using tools from stochastic reachability with random …
