Vision-Based Obstacle Avoidance for Multiple Vehicles Performing Time-Critical Missions
… Observer method. Coordination in time of all vehicles is completed in an outer loop which adjusts the desired velocity profile of each vehicle in order to meet the simultaneous arrival constraints. Simulation results illustrate the theoretical findings.

Controller design for underwater vehicle systems with communication constraints
Real-time cooperation between autonomous vehicles can enable time-critical missions such as tracking and pursuit of a dynamic target or environmental feature, but relies on wireless communications. Underwater communication is almost exclusively accomplished through acoustics, which bring challenges …

Coordinating agile systems through the model-based execution of temporal plans
… that must robustly perform tightly coordinated time-critical missions; for example, military surveillance or search-and-rescue scenarios. In the space domain, execution of temporally flexible plans has provided an enabler for achieving the desired coordination and robustness, in the context of …

Autonomous Localization of 1/R² Sources Using an Aerial Platform
Unmanned vehicles are often used in time-critical missions such as reconnaissance or search and rescue. To this end, this thesis provides autonomous localization and mapping tools for 1/R² sources. A "1/R²" source is one in which the received intensity of the source is inversely proportional to the …

Distributed time-critical coordination strategies for unmanned aerial systems in cluttered environments
… The proposed solution expands the type of time-critical missions that can be automated using cooperative motion control frameworks. This work introduces the use of novel geometric queries to aid a sample-based motion-planning algorithm guide the growth of a rapidly-exploring random tree …

Controller design for underwater vehicle systems with communication constraints
Real-time cooperation between autonomous vehicles can enable time-critical missions such as tracking and pursuit of a dynamic target or environmental feature, but relies on wireless communications. Underwater, communication over distances beyond about one hundred meters is almost exclusively …

Algorithmic Aspects of Perception-Aware Motion Planning on Resource-Constrained Platforms
… integral tool in numerous applications involving time-critical missions in GPS-denied environments. Due to their small size and lean energy budget, MAVs are often equipped with a camera to aid ego-localization. This introduces at least two fundamental challenges. First, cameras are of little use …
