Satisfying collision-avoidance constraints at all time instances along vehicles' trajectories is crucial to the success of a multi-vehicle mission. A common approach to handling collision-avoidance constraints in a trajectory generation problem is to check the constraints on some discrete points in
Range-based SLAM is a well-established technique for estimating the pose of a mobile robot operating in an unknown environment. Current state-of-the-art solutions use occupancy-grid maps to represent the world. While fast and accurate, their performance is limited by two facts. First, in an occupanc
The large number of potential applications for robotic odor source localization has motivated the development of a variety of plume tracking algorithms, the majority of which work in restricted two-dimensional scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a distributed algorithm for 3-D plume tracking usin…
Robotic odor source localization is a promising tool with numerous applications in safety, search and rescue, and environmental science. In this paper, we present an algorithm for odor source localization using multiple cooperating robots equipped with chemical sensors. Laplacian feedback is employe…
