In last two decades, various monitoring systems have been designed and deployed in urban
environments, toward the realization of the so called smart cities. Such systems are based …

Swarm intelligence principles have been widely studied and applied to a number of different
tasks where a group of autonomous robots is used to solve a problem with a distributed …

Small drones are being utilized in monitoring, transport, safety and disaster management,
and other domains. Envisioning that drones form autonomous networks incorporated into …

Within the context of multiple mobile, and networked robot systems, this chapter explores the
current state of the art. After a brief introduction, we first examine architectures for multirobot …

We study optimal multirobot path planning on graphs (MPP) over four minimization
objectives: the makespan (last arrival time), the maximum (single-robot traveled) distance …

This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a
distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. The book presents a broad set of …

Wireless sensor network (WSN) is comprised of tiny, cheap and power-efficient sensor
nodes which effectively transmit data to the base station. The main challenge of WSN is the …

Recent years have shown a large increase in applications and research of problems that
include moving a fleet of physical robots. One particular application that is currently a multi …

Sensing coverage and network connectivity are two of the most fundamental problems in
wireless sensor networks. Finding an optimal node deployment strategy that would minimize …

In view of the wireless sensor network clustering algorithm at home and abroad, the dynamic
cluster head selection methods for a wireless sensor network are put forward in order to …
