    Abstract This work addresses the problem of motion planning for a group of nonholonomic robots under Visible Light Communication (VLC) connectivity requirements. In particular, we consider an inspection task performed by a Robot Chain Control System (RCCS), where a leader must visit relevant regions of an environment while the remaining robots operate as relays, maintaining the connectivity between the leader and a base station. We leverage Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to design a trajectory planner that can coordinate the RCCS, minimizing time and control effort while also handling the issues of directed Line-Of-Sight (LOS), connectivity over directed networks, and the nonlinearity of the robots' dynamics. The efficacy of the proposal is demonstrated with realistic simulations in the Gazebo environment using the Turtlebot3 robot platform.

    Abstract This work is concerned with the problem of planning trajectories and assigning tasks for a Multi-Agent System (MAS) comprised of differential drive robots. We propose a multirate hierarchical control structure that employs a planner based on robust Model Predictive Control (MPC) with mixed-integer programming (MIP) encoding. The planner computes trajectories and assigns tasks for each element of the group in real-time, while also guaranteeing the communication network of the MAS to be robustly connected at all times. Additionally, we provide a data-based methodology to estimate the disturbances sets required by the robust MPC formulation. The results are demonstrated with experiments in two obstacle-filled scenarios
