Sequential TOA-Based Moving Target Localization in Multi-Agent Networks
Localizing moving targets in unknown harsh environments has always been a severe challenge. This letter investigates a novel localization system based on multi-agent networks, where multiple agents serve as mobile anchors broadcasting their time-space information to the targets. We study how the moving target can localize itself using the sequential time of arrival (TOA) of the one-way broadcast signals. An extended two-step weighted least squares (TSWLS) method is proposed to jointly estimate the position and velocity of the target in the presence of agent information uncertainties. We also address the large target clock offset (LTCO) problem for numerical stability. Analytical results reveal that our method reaches the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) under small noises. Numerical results show that the proposed method performs better than the existing algorithms.

Formation Control for Moving Target Enclosing via Relative Localization
In this paper, we investigate the problem of controlling multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to enclose a moving target in a distributed fashion based on a relative distance and self-displacement measurements. A rel…
Multi Agent Switching Mode Controller for Sound Source localization
Source seeking is an important topic in robotic research, especially considering sound-based sensors since they allow the agents to locate a target even in critical conditions where it is not possible to establish a dire…

We propose a new approach to visual perception for relative localization of agents within large-scale swarms of UAVs. Inspired by biological perception utilized by schools of sardines, swarms of bees, and other large gro…
CFCamo: A Counterfactual Detect-or-Abstain Framework for Camouflaged Object Detection
Vision-language reinforcement learning has recently shown strong target-present localization for camouflaged object detection (COD). Yet localization is only one side of the decision: when the agent faces an ordinary ima…

This paper addresses the estimation of a time- varying parameter in a network. A group of agents sequentially receive noisy signals about the parameter (or moving target), which does not follow any particular dynamics. T…
