In this paper we described the hardware architecture of an inexpensive, heterogeneous, mobile robot swarm, designed and developed at RISC lab, University of Bridgeport. Each UB robot swarm is equipped with sensors, actuators, control and communication units, power supply, and interconnection mechanism. This article also describes the essential features and design of a dynamic power distribution...

In planning and managing production systems, manufacturers have two main strategies for responding to uncertainty: they build inventory to hedge against periods in which the production capacity is not suÆcient to satisfy demand, or they temporarily increase the production capacity by \purchasing" extra capacity. We consider the problem of minimizing the long-run average cost of holding inventor...

Mitigating the impact of mining activity is a significant challenge for environmental management. New approaches are required based on environmental information from in-situ, airborne and satellite observations. Airborne hyperspectral remote sensing and geophysical techniques are two such approaches being pursued at the BGS to characterise mine waste and its host rocks and then to monitor its d...
