Abstract Recently, Multi-Robot Systems (MRS) have attained considerable recognition
because of their efficiency and applicability in different types of real-life applications. This …

Search and rescue (SAR) operations can take significant advantage from supporting
autonomous or teleoperated robots and multi-robot systems. These can aid in map** and …

There has been increased research interest in systems composed of multiple autonomous
mobile robots exhibiting cooperative behavior. Groups of mobile robots are constructed, with …

This paper focuses on the problem of cooperatively searching a given area to detect objects
of interest, using a team of heterogenous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). The paper …

We present a new approach to the multi-robot path planning problem, where a number of
robots are to change their positions through feasible motions in the same static environment …

The MARTHA project objectives are the control and the management of a fleet of
autonomous mobile robots for transshipment tasks in harbors, airports and marshalling …

Presents a geometry-based approach for multiple mobile robot motion coordination. The
problem is to coordinate the motions of several robots moving along fixed independent …

This paper describes the foundations and algorithms of a new probabilistic roadmap (PRM)
planner that is: single-query—instead of pre-computing a roadmap covering the entire free …

Describes experiments with a probabilistic roadmap planner (PRM) on a spot-welding
station with 2 to 6 robot manipulators combining 12 to 36 degrees of freedom. When …

We discuss Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) as a high-level control and supervision
language adapted to autonomous robots to represent and execute procedures, scripts and …
