The next chapter of the robotics revolution is well underway with the deployment of robots for
a broad range of commercial use cases. Even in a myriad of applications and environments …

Multi-robot systems gain considerable attention due to lower cost, better robustness, and
higher scalability as compared with single-robot systems. Cooperative object transport, as a …

Simulators have played a critical role in robotics research as tools for quick and efficient
testing of new concepts, strategies, and algorithms. To date, most simulators have been …

This paper deals with the distributed fast and finite-time consensus problem of multiagent
systems with bounded disturbances in a leader-follower-based frame work. A novel integral …

Society is becoming more automated with robots beginning to perform most tasks in
factories and starting to help out in home and office environments. One of the most important …

This paper describes the Player/Stage software tools applied to multi-robot, distributed-robot
and sensor network systems. Player is a robot device server that provides network …

This paper considers the problem of deploying a mobile sensor network in an unknown
environment. A mobile sensor network is composed of a distributed collection of nodes …

The key to utilizing the potential of multirobot systems is cooperation. How can we achieve
cooperation in systems composed of failure-prone autonomous robots operating in noisy …

One of the challenges in develo** real-world autonomous robots is the need for
integrating and rigorously testing high-level scripting, motion planning, perception, and …

This paper describes an incremental deployment algorithm for mobile sensor networks. A
mobile sensor network is a distributed collection of nodes, each of which has sensing …
