Future critical missions will require intelligent systems that can autonomously form robust
coalitions of heterogeneous robots. A novel hybrid coalition formation algorithm for spatially …

Coalition formation is an important coordination problem in multi-agent systems, and a
proper description of collaborative abilities for agents is the basic and key precondition in …

This paper presents a selective survey of theoretical and experimental progress in the
development of biologicallyinspired approaches for complex surveillance and …

Both human–autonomy teaming, specifically, and intelligent autonomous systems, more
generally, raise new challenges in considering how best to specify, model, design, and …

Many biological systems are known to accomplish complex tasks in a decentralized, robust,
and scalable manner-characteristics that are desirable to the coordination of engineered …

We model the multi-level alliance forming ability of male bottlenose dolphins to develop a
decentralized multi-level coalition formation algorithm for a multi-agent system. The goal is …

A fundamental problem in mobile robotics is the exploration of unknown fields that might be
inaccessible or hostile to humans. Exploration missions of great importance include …

We consider the problem of controlling coupled identical, planar particles in the polar
coordinate to achieve various collective motions. We first introduce a model that allows …

This dissertation incorporates coalition formation and probabilistic planning towards a
domain-independent automated planning solution scalable to multiple heterogeneous …

We present a multi-agent system which incorporates mobile agents that communicate using
a simple song-grammar made up of a small vocabulary. Agents are attracted to move …
