A potential approach for engaging an adversarial force of fixed-wing UAVs is to counter it with a similar force. There are open questions, however, regarding the numbers and characteristics necessary for the defending UAV team in such a scenario. In

Testing mobile robotic systems in the field is a costly and risky task. Unfortunately, there is a gap between the existing simulation capabilities and those required to simulate large numbers of aerial vehicles. Many multi-agent robotics simulators h

On Developing a UAV Pursuit-Evasion Policy Using Reinforcement Learning

Autor: Eric Squires, Laura Strickland, Charles Pippin, Bogdan Vlahov

Publikováno v: ICMLA

We present an approach for learning a reactive maneuver policy for a UAV involved in a close-quarters one-on-one aerial engagement. Specifically, UAVs with behaviors learned through reinforcement learning can match or improve upon simple, but effecti

We consider the problem of using only local communication to implement a distributed algorithm for large teams of mobile robots that searches space for locations of interest and distributes the robots across those locations according to quality. Towa

Finding optimal routes for multi-robot patrolling in generic graphs

Autor: Rui P. Rocha, Charles Pippin, Henrik I. Christensen, David Portugal

Publikováno v: IROS

Multi-robot patrolling is a problem that has im- portant applications in security and surveillance. However, the optimal task assignment is known to be NP-hard. We consider evenly spacing the robots in a cyclic Traveling Sales- man Problem (TSP) tour
