Active Replication for Centrally Coordinated Teams of Autonomous Vehicles
(2019)Autonomous vehicles, drones in particular, are used to support a wide range of sensing and actuating missions. While these missions are typically coordinated by a human operator, it is attractive to automate this coordination ... -
Backbone formation in military multi-layer ad hoc networks using complex network concepts
(2016)Modern battlefields are characterized by increasing deployment of ad hoc communications among allied entities. These networks can be seen as a complex multi-layer ad hoc network, where each layer may be an independently ... -
Fast Heuristics for Mixed Fleet Capacitated Multiple TSP with Applications to Location Based Games and Drone Assisted Transportation
(2021)The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the most known problems in combinatorics and consists of finding a route so that a salesman visits all destination points exactly once with minimum cost. Applications of the ... -
Flexible Deployment and Enforcement of Flight and Privacy Restrictions for Drone Applications
(2020)As drones gradually become a key component of next-generation cyber-physical systems, it is important to manage them in a flexible and efficient way. At the same time, it is crucial to enforce certain restrictions, which ... -
Fractus: Orchestration of Distributed Applications in the Drone-Edge-Cloud Continuum
(2022)Next-generation drone applications will be distributed, including tasks that need to run at the edge or in the cloud and interact with the drone in a smooth way. In this paper, we propose Fractus, an orchestration framework ... -
Planning Computation Offloading on Shared Edge Infrastructure for Multiple Drones
(2022)Drones are used in a wide range of applications, which may involve computationally-demanding data processing tasks during the missions. While such heavy tasks can be offloaded to nearby edge-servers, this may not always ... -
Reducing the mission time of drone applications through location-aware edge computing
(2021)In data-driven applications, which go beyond simple data collection, drones may need to process sensor measurements at certain locations, during the mission. However, the onboard computing platforms typically have strong ... -
Robust precision landing for autonomous drones combining vision-based and infrared sensors
(2021)One of the challenges in drone-based systems is to support automated landing with a high precision that goes beyond the accuracy of standard off-the-shelf GPS. Various efforts have been made to support this, mainly using ... -
Safe Optimistic Path Planning for Autonomous Drones under Dynamic Energy Costs
(2021)Unmanned aerial vehicles or so-called drones are already used in several applications to perform different sensing and monitoring missions. A central problem is to plan these missions so as to minimize the completion time. ... -
Simulation and Digital Twin Support for Managed Drone Applications
(2020)As drone technology passes one milestone after the other, drones are used in an ever-increasing number of applications and are now considered as an integral part of the future smart city infrastructure. At the same time, ... -
System Architecture for Autonomous Drone-Based Remote Sensing
(2022)Thanks to modern autopilot hardware and software, multi-rotor drones can fly and perform different maneuvers in a precise way, guided merely by high-level commands. This, in turn, opens the way towards fully automated ... -
Target Tracking with Multi-rotor Aerial Vehicles based on a Robust Visual Servo Controller with Prescribed Performance
(2020)In this paper, we present an image-based visual servo control scheme for tracking a moving target using a multirotor aerial vehicle. The proposed scheme is based on the prescribed performance control notion and it is able ...
