We propose a framework for resilience in a networked heterogeneous multirobot team
subject to resource failures. Each robot in the team is equipped with resources that it shares …

We address the problem of maintaining resource availability in a networked multirobot team
performing distributed tracking of an unknown number of targets in a bounded environment …

A number of coordinated behaviors are proposed for achieving specific tasks for multirobot
systems. However, since most applications require more than one such behavior, one needs …

The field of robotics was previously centered on applications involving individual robots.
Due to the expansion of high-tech industries and the ease of access to advanced …

Resource-constrained robots often suffer from energy inefficiencies, underutilized
computational abilities due to inadequate task allocation, and a lack of robustness in …

We present a technique for learning how to solve a multi-robot mission that requires
interaction with an external environment by observing an expert system executing the same …

For autonomous mobile robot systems, which have uses in a variety of industries, including
transportation and the military, accurate navigation is essential. Fault detection is vital since …

This dissertation is an outcome of a three-year doctoral program conducted at the
Department of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering, School of Environment and …
