Towardsoptimization ofareal-world Robotic-Sensor System ofSystems
Prasanna Sridhar · 2006
Theproblem ofthreat detection inanunstructured environment isconsidered. Three systems, comprising ofrobots andsensors, areproposed toformasystem ofsystems (SoS) tofind asolution totheproblem. System interactions aredefined toprovide aframework forformulation asanSoSoptimization problem. Different costandobjective functions areintroduced foroptimization oflocal criteria. Using different weights, alinear combination ofthelocal costandobjective functions isobtained topropose aglobal objective function. Analgorithm issuggested tofind an optimum value fortheglobal objective function leading towards optimization oftheSoS.
