Safety, security, and rescue missions typically occur in environments where unreliable wireless communication impedes cooperative human and robot missions. A low-VHF band antenna array formed through the coordination of ground robots has the potential to transmit and receive signals more reliably at
Recent developments in low-VHF antenna design and parasitic antenna array research show it is possible to form multi-robot antenna arrays. These arrays have the potential to extend communication range in urban and indoor environments. However, existing control formulations are not general enough to
Autonomous platforms are confronted by a diversity of challenges in unstructured environments, which make monitoring performance a non-trivial task. Some of these environments are so complex that they preclude persistent, nearby operator oversight. This absence of oversight motivates the need for an…
