This survey describes the current state-of-the-art in the development of automated visual
surveillance systems so as to provide researchers in the field with a summary of progress …

In the numerous existing studies dealing with multi-agent robot systems, the systems are
positioned on the crossover area of robotics and distributed autonomous systems. Multi …

In the field of mobile robotics, the study of multi-robot systems (MRSs) has grown
significantly in size and importance in recent years. Having made great progress in the …

With the success of wireless technologies in consumer electronics, standard wireless
technologies are envisioned for the deployment in industrial environments as well. Industrial …

Dispersing swarms of robots to cover an unknown, potentially hostile area is useful to setup
a sensor network for surveillance. Previous research assumes relative locations (distance …

The work presented here investigates how environmental features can be used to help
select a task allocation mechanism from a portfolio in a multi-robot exploration scenario. In …

Due to the openness of wireless medium, robotic networks that consist of many miniaturized
robots are susceptible to Sybil attackers, who can fabricate myriads of fictitious robots. Such …

Most map building methods employed by mobile robots are based on the assumption that
an estimate of robot poses can be obtained from odometry readings or from observing …

We examine how the choice of the movement algorithm can affect the success of a swarm of
simple mobile robots attempting to disperse themselves in an unknown environment. We …
