The formation control technique called cluster space control promotes simplified specification and monitoring of the motion of mobile multirobot systems of limited size. Previous paper has established the conceptual ...

We present a tracking controller for mobile multirobot systems based on dual quaternion pose representations applied to formations of robots in a leader-follower configuration, by using a cluster-space state approach. The ...

This thesis addresses the spatial and space-time cluster detection problem. Two algorithms to solve the typical problem for spatial data sets are proposed. A fast method for the detection and inference of point data set ...

Within the Cluster Space robot formation control scheme, a new approach is presented where a cascaded control scheme is proposed. On one hand, a simple secondary (inner) loop is used to control the formation’s velocity in ...

This paper presents an experimentally demonstrated gradient-based multirobot technique for adaptively navigating within a parameter field. To implement this technique, simultaneous measurements of the parameter are made ...

A formulation based on a team of unmanned aerial vehicles operating as a fully articulated multi-camera jib crane is proposed for the application of aerial cinematography. An optimization-based controller commands the ...

There is an increasing interest in replacing a unique, complex, and expensive vehicle equipped with several sensors with a group of small vehicles, each of them carrying fewer sensors. There are several advantages in these ...

The post-processing of association rules is a difficult task, since a large number of patterns can be obtained. Many approaches have been developed to overcome this problem, as objective measures and clustering, which are ...

New adaptive based methods to the detection and statistical monitoring of changes in the spatial-temporal pattern of a stochastic process are developed in this thesis. Namely, this study focuses on the following methodologies: ...
