Gm-phd filter for searching and tracking an unknown number of targets with a mobile sensor with limited fov

Y Sung, P Tokekar - IEEE Transactions on Automation Science …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study the problem of searching for and tracking a collection of moving targets using a

A visibility roadmap sampling approach for a multi-robot visibility-based pursuit-evasion problem

T Olsen, AM Tumlin, NM Stiffler… - 2021 IEEE International …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Given a two-dimensional polygonal space, the multi-robot visibility-based pursuit-evasion
problem tasks several pursuer robots with the goal of establishing visibility with an arbitrarily …

Tree search techniques for adversarial target tracking with distance-dependent measurement noise

Z Zhang, P Tokekar - IEEE Transactions on Control Systems …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We study the problem of devising a closed-loop strategy to control the position of a robot that
is tracking a possibly moving target. The robot obtains noisy measurements of the target's …

Rapid recovery from robot failures in multi-robot visibility-based pursuit-evasion
