The emergence of the Internet of things and the widespread deployment of diverse
computing systems have led to the formation of heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MAS) …

The deployment of a fleet of autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) allows for the
parallelisation of missions, intervehicle support for longer deployment times, adaptability …

This chapter describes a series of works developed in order to integrate ROS-based robots
with Unity-based virtual reality interfaces. The main goal of this integration is to develop …

Abstract Service robots are increasingly being used to perform missions comprising
dangerous or tedious tasks previously executed by humans. However, their users—who …

The ocean bottom flying node (OBFN) is a novel autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)
system which could explore the oil and gas resources in deep water. This paper investigates …

Context: Robots can potentially collaborate to execute a variety of tasks in the service robots
domain. However, develo** applications of service robots can be complex due to the high …

Multi-robot systems (MRS) have gained interest as a versatile paradigm for complex task
execution across various domains such as healthcare, logistics, and maintenance. Often …

Robotics engineering is gradually becoming an essential part of our daily life. However, it
has been generating Big Data and seeking large computation cost because of the …

This paper presents a planning and execution architecture suited for the initial planning, the
execution and the on-board repair of a plan for a multi-robot mission. The team as a whole …

Multi-robot missions can be compared to industrial processes or public services in terms of
complexity, agents and interactions. Process mining is an emerging discipline that involves …
