Background: During the course of an epidemic of a potentially fatal disease, it is difficult to accurately estimate the case fatality rate (CFR) because many calculation methods do not account for the delay between case confirmation and disease outcome.Taking the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) as an example, this study aimed to develop a new m
A Secure Decentralized Event-Triggered Cooperative Localization in Multi-Robot Systems Under Cyber Attack
We study the problem of secure decentralized event-triggered cooperative localization (SDECL) for a team of mobile robots in an adversarial environment, where the objective is to perform localization in the presence of a malicious attacker.We consider a scenario in which an intruder is able to attack the communication channels between exteroceptive
