Cooperative “curvature-driven” control of mobile autonomous sensor agent network
Fariba Ariaei, EDMOND A. JONCKHEERE · 2007
We present a stable, real time, curvature-driven, control strategy for a network of mobile autonomous sensing agents to move and reconfigure cooperatively in response to a sensed, distributed environment. Our control strategy decouples, in part, the network estimation of the environment and the cooperative management of the agents' maneuvers and network formation. This framework provides an effective basis for self-organization.
