The productivity of greenhouses highly depends on the environmental conditions of crops,
such as temperature and humidity. The control and monitoring might need large sensor …

Although a number of solutions exist for the problems of coverage, search, and target
localization-commonly addressed separately-whether there exists a unified strategy that …

This chapter describes a series of works developed in order to integrate ROS-based robots
with Unity-based virtual reality interfaces. The main goal of this integration is to develop …

With the rapid development of automated guided vehicle (AGV), the AGV dispatching
problem (AGVDP) becomes a major concern in the AGV system owing to its decisive impact …

Autonomously searching for hazardous radiation sources requires the ability of the aerial
and ground systems to understand the scene they are scouting. In this paper, we present …

This study proposes an entire hardware and software architecture from operator input to
motor command for the autonomous area coverage mission using multiple unmanned aerial …

Our work is motivated by humanitarian assistant and disaster relief (HADR) where often it is
critical to find signs of life in the presence of conflicting criteria, objectives, and information …

Most cleaning robots have a good cleaning performance for small environments such as
houses but require a longer cleaning time due to problems such as slow cleaning progress …

Intelligent Autonomy of UAVs: Advanced Missions and Future Use provides an approach to
the formulation of the fundamental task typical to any mission and provides guidelines of …

To solve the problem of collaborative air–ground target search and localization in large
outdoor environments, we adopt a distributed layered architecture and propose a …
