This work focuses on the design and implementation of a behavior based, layered, cooperative control of robots in a sensor network, hybrid in combining subsumption and motor schema layers. Behaviors at different level of resolution are not only coordinated by the motor schema layers but also through units called "evaluators" which fuses state and activity of behaviors according to priorities and cross-couplings in runtime. Concurrent, sequential, asynchronous multi-robot task allocation is based on "market based auction algorithm" with a novel efficient non-linear time varying fitness calculation enhancing fairness and fault tolerance. A 3D simulation environment is developed to test the proposed architecture for fairness, fault tolerance, mission accomplishment rates, and coverage.

A cross-layer protocol for wireless sensor networks Akyildiz, Ian F.; Vuran, Mehmet C.; Akan, Ozgur B. (2006-03-24) Severe energy constraints of battery-powered sensor nodes necessitate energy-efficient communication protocols in order to fulfill application objectives of wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, the vast majority of the existing solutions are based on classical layered protocols approach. It is much more resource-efficient to have a unified scheme which melts common protocol layer functionalities into a cross-layer module for resource-constrained sensor nodes. To the best of our knowledge, to date, there...
A fluid dynamics framework for control of mobile robot networks Paç, Muhammed Raşid; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis proposes a framework for controlling mobile robot networks based on a fluid dynamics paradigm. The approach is inspired by natural behaviors of fluids demonstrating desirable characteristics for collective robots. The underlying mathematical formalism is developed through establishing analogies between fluid bodies and multi-robot systems such that robots are modeled as fluid elements that constitute a fluid body. The governing equations of fluid dynamics are adapted to multi-robot systems and a...
A Modular Real-Time Fieldbus Architecture for Mobile Robotic Platforms Saranlı, Uluç; Oeztuerk, M. Cihan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-03-01) The design and construction of complex and reconfigurable embedded systems such as small autonomous mobile robots is a challenging task that involves the selection, interfacing, and programming of a large number of sensors and actuators. Facilitating this tedious process requires modularity and extensibility both in hardware and software components. In this paper, we introduce the universal robot bus (URB), a real-time fieldbus architecture that facilitates rapid integration of heterogeneous sensor and actu...
An adaptive, energy-aware and distributed fault-tolerant topology-control algorithm for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks Deniz, Fatih; Bagci, Hakki; KÖRPEOĞLU, İBRAHİM; Yazıcı, Adnan (2016-07-01) This paper introduces an adaptive, energy-aware and distributed fault-tolerant topology control algorithm, namely the Adaptive Disjoint Path Vector (ADPV) algorithm, for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks. In this heterogeneous model, we have resource-rich supernodes as well as ordinary sensor nodes that are supposed to be connected to the supernodes. Unlike the static alternative Disjoint Path Vector (DPV) algorithm, the focus of ADPV is to secure supernode connectivity in the presence of node failures...
A Framework for Machine Vision based on Neuro-Mimetic Front End Processing and Clustering Akbaş, Emre; ECKSTEIN, Miguel; MADHOW, Upamanyu (2014-10-03) Convolutional deep neural nets have emerged as a highly effective approach for machine vision, but there are a number of open issues regarding training (e.g., a large number of model parameters to be learned, and a number of manually tuned algorithm parameters) and interpretation (e.g., geometric interpretations of neurons at various levels of the hierarchy). In this paper, our goal is to explore alternative convolutional architectures which are easier to interpret and simpler to implement. In particular, w...
