Formation Control of Multi‐Agent System with Local Interaction and Artificial Potential Field
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article proposes a local interaction‐based formation control method for Multi‐Agent system, integrating consensus and leader‐follower strategies with a stress response mechanism—artificial potential field to reduce communication overhead and enable obstacle avoidance. Experimental results on triangular, square, and hexagonal formations confirm its

Spectrum Requirement for Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication for Traffic Safety
2014 IEEE 79th Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC Spring), 2014 We investigate the amount of radio spectrum re- quired for reliable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for traffic safety. The basic feature of the traffic safety application is that it uses periodical broadcasts of status messages containing the location and velocity of transmitting vehicles.

Multimodal Human–Robot Interaction Using Human Pose Estimation and Local Large Language Models
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A multimodal human–robot interaction framework integrates human pose estimation (HPE) and a large language model (LLM) for gesture‐ and voice‐based robot control. Speech‐to‐text (STT) enables voice command interpretation, while a safety‐aware arbitration mechanism prioritizes gesture input for rapid intervention.
