Khanzong from the Manchester Center of Robotics and AI visited our lab in Hamburg. We conducted experiments regarding a multi-robot formation control based on visual-servoing. Published in: 2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation.

The title of the paper summarizes it quite well already. It is motivated by the scenario of self-localizing underwater robots. The topic was (and probably is) lacking publications addressing the underwater domain with its specific challenges. Published in: 2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems.

The basic idea of this paper was to combine multiple underactuated vehicles to increase the maneuvering capabilites. This way it is possible to maintain a slender shape of the robot to fit through tight passages, such as inspection holes, while also beeing fully actuated when reconfigured.
