Containment Control in Mobile Networks
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-09)
In this paper, the problem of driving a collection of mobile
robots to a given target destination is studied. In particular, we are interested
in achieving this transfer in an orderly manner so as to ensure that the
agents ...
Learning from Examples in Unstructured, Outdoor Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006)
In this paper, we present a multi-pronged approach to the "Learning from Example"
problem. In particular, we present a framework for integrating learning
into a standard, hybrid navigation strategy, composed of both ...
Automatic Formation Deployment of Decentralized Heterogeneous Multiple-Robot Networks with Limited Sensing Capabilities
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-05)
Heterogeneous multi-robot networks require novel
tools for applications that require achieving and maintaining
formations. This is the case for distributing sensing devices
with heterogeneous mobile sensor networks. ...
Geometric Foraging Strategies in Multi-Agent Systems Based on Biological Models
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-12)
In nature, communal hunting is often performed
by predators by charging through an aggregation of prey. However,
it has been noticed that variations exist in the geometric
shape of the charging front; in addition, ...
Decentralized Classification in Societies of Autonomous and Heterogenous Robots
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-05)
This paper addresses the classification problem
for a set of autonomous robots that interact with each other.
The objective is to classify agents that "behave" in "different
way", due to their own physical dynamics or ...
Topology-Induced Connectivity Bounds in Leader-Follower Networks
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-01)
In this paper we derive a set of constraints that are sufficient to guarantee maintained connectivity in a leader-follower multi-
agent network with proximity based communication topology. In the scenario we consider, ...
What Are the Ants Doing? Vision-Based Tracking and Reconstruction of Control Programs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005-04)
In this paper, we study the problem of going
from a real-world, multi-agent system to the generation of
control programs in an automatic fashion. In particular,
a computer vision system is presented, capable of ...
Realization of the Sensor Web Concept for Earth Science Using Mobile Robotic Platforms
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)
In this paper, we discuss the realization of a
robotic mobile sensor network that allows for controlled
reconfiguration of sensor assets in a decentralized manner.
The motivation is to allow the construction of a new ...
A Formal Approach to the Automatic Generation of Ballet Motions
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-04)
As cyber-physical systems become more prevalent,
specifications for these systems must be formulated in a more
nuanced manner. This paper presents a particular instantiation
of such specification by proposing a framework ...
Symbolic Planning and Control of Robot Motion: State of the Art and Grand Challenges
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-03)
In this paper, different research trends that use symbolic techniques for robot motion planning and control are illustrated. As it often happens in new research areas, contributions to this topic started at about the same ...
