This paper presents a novel approach to optimal multi-robot task allocation in heterogeneous teams of robots. When robots have heterogeneous capabilities and there are diverse objectives and constraints to comply with, computing optimal plans can become especially hard. Moreover, we increase the pro…
Navigation is an essential task for social robots. However, certain rules must be followed to allow them to move without causing distraction or discomfort to people. Considering that the context surrounding robots and persons affects the expected behavior, this work defines a social area around a pe…
This letter describes a method for autonomous aerial cinematography with distributed lighting by a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Although camera-carrying multi-rotor helicopters have become commonplace in cinematography, their usage is limited to scenarios with sufficient natural light or
This article addresses an Active cooperative perception problem for networked robots systems. Given a team of networked robots, the goal is finding a target using their inherent uncertain sensor data. The article proposes a particle filter to model the probability distribution of the position of the
This paper proposes a planning algorithm for autonomous media production with multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in outdoor events. Given filming tasks specified by a media Director, we formulate an optimization problem to maximize the filming time considering battery constraints. As we conjec…
