Abstract. This paper summarizes a novel framework, called “physicomimetics,” for the distributed control of large collections of mobile physical agents in sensor networks. The ...
A robot’s ability to assist humans in a variety of tasks, e.g. in search and rescue or in a household, heavily depends on the robot’s reliable recognition of the objects in th...
Reliable recognition of objects is an important capabaility in the progress towards getting agents to accomplish and assist in a variety of useful tasks such as search and rescue ...
When the range of single-hop wireless communication is limited by distance or harsh radio propagation conditions, relays can be used to extend the communication range through mult...
