Abstract: In this paper, we study vehicle formations employing ring-structured communication strategies and propose a combinatorial approach for developing ring graphs for vehicle formations. In vehicle platoons, a ring graph is ...

Abstract: In this article, we address the problem of synthesizing communication networks for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the presence of resource constraints. UAVs can be deployed as backbone nodes in ad hoc networks that can ...

Abstract: This paper considers the problem of planning paths for a collection of identical vehicles visiting a given set of targets, such that the total lengths of their paths are minimum. Each vehicle starts at a specified location ...
