Abstract. We consider the self-deployment problem in a ring for a network of identical sensors: starting from some initial random placement in the ring, the sensors in the network ...

A sonar-ring is one of the most popular sensors for indoor mobile robots, because it is simple and gives omni-directional distance information directly. However, it is dicult to m...
Mobile sensors can self-deploy in a purely decentralized and distributed fashion, so to reach in finite time a state of static equilibrium in which they cover uniformly the enviro...
