We consider a multi-robot patrolling scenario with intermittent connectivity constraints, ensuring that robots' data finally arrive at a base station. In particular, each robot traverses a closed tour periodically and meets with the robots on neighboring tours to exchange data. We model the problem
We discuss surveillance with multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that minimize information idleness (the lag between the start of the mission and the moment when the data captured at a sensing location arrives at the base station) and constrain latency (the lag between capturing data at a sensin
The strong resource limitations of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) pose various challenges for UAV applications. In persistent multi-UAV surveillance, several UAVs with limited communication range and flight time have to repeatedly visit sensing locations while maintaining a multi-hop connection to…
