    Practical Formation Acquisition Mechanism for Nonholonomic Leader-Follower Networks
    (Scitepress, 2022) Kabore, Kader Monhamady; Guler, Samet
    A grand challenge lying ahead of the realization of multi-robot systems is the lack of an adequate coordination mechanism with reliable localization solutions. In some workspaces, external infrastructure needed for precise localization may not be always available to the MRS, e.g., GPS-denied environments, and the robots may need to rely on their onboard resources without explicit communication. We address the practical formation control of nonholonomic ground robots where external localization aids are not available. We propose a systematic framework for the formation maintenance problem that is composed of a localization module and a control module. The onboard localization module relies on heterogeneity in sensing modality comprised of ultrawideband, 2D LIDAR, and camera sensors. Particularly, we apply deep learning-based object detection algorithm to detect the bearing between robots and fuse the outcome with ultrawideband distance measurements for precise relative localization. Integration of the localization outcome into a distributed formation acquisition controller yields high performance. Furthermore, the proposed framework can eliminate the magnetometer sensor which is known to produce unreliable heading readings in some environments. We conduct several realistic simulations and real world experiments whose results validate the competency of the proposed solution.

    Mutual Relative Localization in Heterogeneous Air-Ground Robot Teams
    (Scitepress, 2022) Guler, Samet; Yildirim, I. Emre; Alabay, H. Halid
    Air and ground robots with distinct sensing characteristics can be combined in a team to accomplish demanding tasks robustly. A key challenge in such heterogeneous systems is the design of a local positioning methodology where each robot estimates its location with respect to its neighbors. We propose a filtering-based relative localization algorithm for air-ground teams composed of vertical-take-off-and-landing drones and unmanned aerial vehicles. The team members interact through a sensing/communication mechanism relying on onboard units, which results in a mutual connection between the air and ground components. Exploiting the supplementary features of omnidirectional distance sensors and monocular cameras, the framework can function in all environments without fixed infrastructures. Various simulation and experiment results verify the competency of our approach.

    A Framework for Web Application Integrity
    (Scitepress, 2018) Fortuna, Pedro; Pereira, Nuno; Butun, Ismail
    Due to their universal accessibility, interactivity and scaling ease, Web applications relying on client-side code execution are currently the most common form of delivering applications and it is likely that they will continue to enter into less common realms such as IoT-based applications. We reason that modern Web applications should be able to exhibit advanced security protection mechanisms and review the research literature that points to useful partial solutions. Then, we propose a framework to support such characteristics and the features needed to implement them, providing a roadmap for a comprehensive solution to support Web application integrity.
