Coverage, Exploration, and Deployment by a Mobile Robot and Communication Network
We consider the problem of coverage and exploration of an unknown dynamic environment using a mobile robot(s). The environment is assumed to be large enough such that constant moti...

Nonuniform coverage and cartograms
In this paper, we investigate nonuniform coverage of a planar region by a network of autonomous, mobile agents. We derive centralized nonuniform coverage control laws from uniform ...
