Optimizing communication in air-ground robot networks using decentralized control

We develop a distributed controller to position a team of aerial vehicles in a configuration that optimizes communication-link quality, to support a team of ground vehicles performing a collaborative task.We propose a gradient-based control approach where agents' positions locally minimize a ph...
