This paper proposes Clustering Intercept by multiple unmanned aerial vehicles in order to intercept hostile swarm with complex trajectories. Swarm Intercept is effective against swarm targets. However, guidance performance may decrease when the target also presents outside of the swarm. Clustering Intercept separates independent target and swarm, switches between individual intercept mode and swarm intercept mode. The simulation results showed that the proposed Clustering Intercept improved the guidance performance.

<p>Patrolling with multiple robots enables efficient surveillance for detecting and managing undesirable situations. This necessitates improved patrol efficiency and operator situational awareness at base stations. An enhanced situational awareness enables operators to predict robot behavior, support recognition and decision-making, and execute emergency interventions. This paper presents the local reactive and partition (LR-PT) algorithm. It is a novel multi-robot patrolling approach. In the simulations, LR-PT outperformed the existing methods by ensuring frequent patrols of all the locations of interest and enhancing the situational awareness of the base station. The robots independently select patrol targets based on locally available information. It integrates patrol requirements and the urgency of reporting mission progress to base stations into a unified utility function. This locality also contributes to the robustness against communication constraints and robot failures, as demonstrated in this study. The algorithm further autonomously performs emergent area partitioning. This can prevent falling into local optima and realize a comprehensive patrol over the entire mission area. The simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of LR-PT for multi-robot patrolling. It utilizes the advantages of swarm robotics and addresses real-world operational challenges.</p>
