Control of autonomous vehicles for applications such as surveillance, search, and
exploration has been a topic of great interest over the past two decades. In particular, there …

In this paper, we present controllers that enable mobile robots to persistently monitor or
sweep a changing environment. The environment is modeled as a field that is defined over a …

Ocean processes are dynamic and complex and occur on multiple spatial and temporal
scales. To obtain a synoptic view of such processes, ocean scientists collect data over long …

The subject of this paper is the patrolling of an environment with the aid of a team of
autonomous agents. We consider both the design of open-loop trajectories with optimal …

This paper addresses the Multi-Robot Patrolling Problem, where agents must coordinate
their actions while continuously deciding which place to move next after clearing their …

In this paper, we consider the problem of planning a path for a robot to monitor a known set
of features of interest in an environment. We represent the environment as a graph with …

Patrolling indoor infrastructures with a team of cooperative mobile robots is a challenging
task, which requires effective multi-agent coordination. Deterministic patrol circuits for …

This paper focuses on the problem of patrolling an environment with a team of autonomous
agents. Given a set of strategically important locations (viewpoints) with different priorities …

Accurate real-time information about an ongoing wildfire event is important for realizing
effective and safe wildfire fighting. This paper is intended to solve the problem of guiding …

This paper investigates multi-objective optimization of coordinated patrolling flight of multiple
unmanned aerial vehicles in the vicinity of terrain, while respecting their performance …
