Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are becoming increasingly popular in the public safety
sector. While some applications have so far only been envisioned, others are regularly …

Mobile robotics is a widespread field of research, whose differentiation from general robotics
is often based only on the ability to move. However, mobile robots need unique capabilities, …

This work conceptualizes a system comprised of a swarm of cooperating Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) and a mobile base station. The system is intended to support rescue units at …

This work presents a scenario and a system concept for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
teamed with an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) and a base station for firefighting tasks. …

This paper presents an approach to estimate the energy consumption of an omnidirectional
Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) equipped with four Mecanum wheels for any given …

In many commercial applications, robots are tasked to follow pre-programmed paths as
precisely as possible. A prominent example is given by coverage paths, where accurate …

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is combining product development and project
management with a focus on cross-domain, multidisciplinary projects in product development. …

The development of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is complex and usually expensive, as
commercial tools are often used, adapted from the development of (small) manned aircraft. …

The brief story known as Merlin Mellot has been given little attention: it can be said that no
specific work has been dedicated to it. Instead it is an interesting text both as a gender …

This paper presents MiMicS, a novel multi-robot simulator for teaching, rapid algorithm
prototyping and large scale evaluation. Contrary to many other solutions, this simulator provides …
