	abstract = {We present a decentralized algorithm for estimating mutual 3-D poses in a group of mobile robots, such as a team of UAVs. Our algorithm uses bearing measurements reconstructed, e.g., by a visual sensor, and inertial measurements coming from the robot IMU. Since identification of a specific robot in a group would require visual tagging and may be cumbersome in practice, we simply assume that the bear- ing measurements are anonymous. The proposed localization method is a non-trivial extension of our previous algorithm for the 2-D case, and exhibits similar performance and robustness. An experimental validation of the algorithm has been performed using quadrotor UAVs.},

	abstract = {In this paper, we present a decentralized passivity-based control strategy for the bilateral teleoperation of a fleet of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The human operator at the master side can command the fleet motion and receive suitable force cues informative about the remote environment. By properly controlling the energy exchanged within the slave side (the UAV fleet), we guarantee that the connectivity of the fleet is preserved and we prevent inter-agent and obstacle collisions. At the same time, we allow the behavior of the UAVs to be as flexible as possible with arbitrary split and join maneuvers. The results of the paper are validated through semi-experiments.},
