Multi-vehicle teams are being used more and more frequently to solve increasingly complex problems [1, 2]. In order for the team to work effectively, the vehicles must communicate to coordinate their efforts. In applications with high quality communication links, the vehicles are able to operate almost as a single entity. But in more harsh and dynamic environments, such as underwater, communication...
Using multiple smaller vehicles to accomplish tasks rather than a single larger vehicle has garnered significant attention in recent years. For these multiple smaller vehicles to operate in unison they need to exchange information frequently. Great progress has been made in this area where communication links are easily established and bandwidth is not a significant issues in modalities such as UGVs...
Wireless Sensors have been used for environmental monitoring and battlefield surveillance for many years now. Wireless, low-cost, and low-energy sensors are distributed geographically to monitor and report specific effects such as temperature, light, motion and sound. The hardware, network protocols and information retrieval techniques for wireless sensor networks are areas of active research. While...
Simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) is a desired feature for autonomous mobile robots. This SLAM approach allows the robot to create a map on the fly and then backtrack to further explore the area without human interaction. Data from the robot's encoder and sonar sensors are used along with depth information from a stereo camera vision system to explore and map the surroundings. The...
