	abstract = {Modular self-reconfigurable robotic (MSRR) systems are potentially more robust and more adaptive than conventional systems. Following our previous work where we proposed a freeform MSRR module called FreeBOT, this paper presents a novel configuration detection system for FreeBOT using a magnetic sensor array. A FreeBOT module can be connected by up to 11 modules, and the proposed configuration detection system can locate a variable number of connection points accurately in real-time. By equipping FreeBOT with 24 magnetic sensors, the magnetic field density produced by magnets and steel spherical shells can be monitored. The connectable area is split into 199 non-uniform regions, including 84 uniform regions. Using a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) based algorithm, the connection points can be located accurately under ferromagnetic environments. The system can locate a variable number of connection points for such a region division with only single connection point training data. Finally, the localization algorithm can run faster than 40 Hz on FreeBOT. With the real-time configuration detection system, the FreeBOT system has the potential to reconfigure automatically and accurately.},

	abstract = {This paper presents GVGExp, a recurrent-connectivity exploration strategy for multi-robot systems to discover unknown environments under communication-constrained conditions. A robust multi-robot exploration strategy with communication constraints is important to accomplish several applications, e.g., underwater or planetary exploration. Mainstream multi-robot exploration strategies have considered unlimited communication. In addition, these strategies delegate the resolution of potential path collisions to local planners. In this paper, we explicitly focus on minimizing the number of communication events between robots given the limited bandwidth that can be available in real missions, as well as explicitly minimizing potential path interference between robots. GVGExp incrementally builds a Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG), which is used by the robots to determine the topology of the environment. We introduce a novel property of the GVG called gate to identify a region (subtree) that is uniquely assigned to each robot, with no overlap, thus minimizing potential path interference. Whenever a robot finishes exploring a region, in a depth-first search fashion, or finds a loop connecting to other parts of the environment, the robot shares information with other robots that are in range to enable coordination. We performed numerous simulations to evaluate our proposed strategy and compared it with other state-of-the-art methods. Experimental results show that GVGExp is able to explore the environments in a relatively short amount of time, significantly reducing communication events and path interference.},

	abstract = {The topology of a network directly influences the behaviour and controllability of dynamical processes on that network. Therefore, the design of network topologies is an important area of research when examining the control of distributed systems. We discuss a method for growing networks known as whiskering, as well as generalizations of this process, and prove that they preserve controllability. We then use techniques from submodular optimization to analyze optimization algorithms for adding new nodes to a network to optimize certain objectives, such as graph connectivity.},

	address = {Karlsruhe, Germany},
	abstract = {We consider the problem of detecting moving and evading targets by a team of coordinated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in large and complex 2D and 2.5D environments. Our approach is based on the coordination of 2D sweep lines that move through the environment to clear it from all contamination, representing the possibility of a target being located in an area, and thereby detecting all targets. The trajectories of the UAVs are implicitly given by the motion of these sweep lines and their costs are determined by the number of UAVs needed. A novel algorithm that computes low cost coordination strategies of the UAV sweep lines in simply connected polygonal environments is presented. The resulting strategies are then converted to strategies clearing multiply connected and 2.5D environments. Experiments on real and artificial elevation maps with complex visibility constraints are presented and demonstrate the feasibility and scalability of the approach. The algorithms used for the experiments are made available on a public repository.},
