Frontier-based exploration is the most common approach to exploration, a fundamental
problem in robotics. In frontier-based exploration, robots explore by repeatedly detecting …

This paper presents a distributed smooth time-varying feedback control law for coordinating
motions of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots of the Hilare-type to capture/enclose a …

Search and rescue operations in large disaster sites require quick gathering of relevant
information. Both the knowledge of the location of victims and the environmental/structural …

When a distributed robotic system is assigned to perform reconnaissance or surveillance,
restrictions inherent to the design of an individual robot limit the system's performance in …

In this chapter, we present a literature survey of an emerging, cutting-edge, and
multidisciplinary field of research at the intersection of Robotics and Wireless Sensor …

To safely and efficiently guide search and rescue operations in disaster areas, gathering of
relevant information such as the locations of victims, must occur swiftly. Using the concept of …

We describe a distributed software system for controlling a group of miniature robots using a
very low capacity communication system. Space and power limitations on the miniature …

While there is much interest in human-carriable mobile robots for defense/security
applications, existing examples are still too large/heavy, and there are not many successful …

Using robots for surveillance and reconnaissance applications requires a versatile
connection between the human operator and robotic hardware. Some application domains …

A mathematical model of a single mobile robot is developed. One of the possible situational
tas< s is considered. The paper deals with the problem of reconnaissance in the premises …
