Ride-sharing, or carpooling, systems with autonomous vehicles will provide efficient and reliable urban mobility on demand. In this work we present a method for dynamic vehicle routing that leverages historical data to improve the performance of a network of self-driving taxis. In particular, we describe a constrained optimization method capable of assigning requests to autonomous vehicles in an informed...
This paper proposes a reactive motion-planning approach for persistent surveillance of risk-sensitive areas by a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The planner, termed PARCov (Planner for Autonomous Risk-sensitive Coverage), seeks to: i) maximize the area covered by sensors mounted on each UAV; ii) provide persistent surveillance; iii) maintain high sensor data quality; and iv) reduce detection...
This paper presents a path-planning approach to enable a swarm of robots move to a goal region while avoiding collisions with static and dynamic obstacles. To provide scalability and account for the complexity of the interactions in the swarm, the proposed approach combines probabilistic roadmaps with potential fields. The underlying idea is to provide the swarm with a series of intermediate goals...

The proposed approach, termed PARCov (Planner for Autonomous Risk-sensitive Coverage), seeks to maximize the area covered by the sensors mounted on each UAV while maintaining high sensor data quality and minimizing detection risk. PARCov leverages...
