Abstract Purpose of Review This review summarizes the broad roles that communication
formats and technologies have played in enabling multi-robot systems. We approach 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 …

We propose a dual-resolution scheme to achieve time-efficient autonomous exploration with
one or many robots. The scheme maintains a high-resolution local map of the robot's …

Nearly half a century ago, two papers postulated the likelihood of lunar lava tube caves
using mathematical models. Today, armed with an array of orbiting and fly‐by satellites and …

This paper serves as one of the first efforts to enable large-scale and long-duration
autonomy using the Boston Dynamics Spot robot. Motivated by exploring extreme …

Confined and subterranean areas are common in many civilian and industrial sites,
although they are hazardous for humans given the presence of noxious gases, extreme …

Artificial intelligence has undergone immense growth and maturation in recent years, though
autonomous systems have traditionally struggled when fielded in diverse and previously …

Communication is an important capability for multi-robot exploration because (1) inter-robot
communication (comms) improves coverage efficiency and (2) robot-to-base comms …

Programming robotic systems is often a challenging task requiring advanced skills,
especially when the goal is to ensure loosely-coupled coordination in heterogeneous Multi …

Human-robot interaction (HRI) research frequently explores how to design interfaces that
enable humans to effectively teleoperate and supervise robots. One of the principle goals of …
