Abstract

We describe decentralized control laws for the coordination of multiple vehicles performing spatially distributed tasks. The control laws are based on a gradient descent scheme applied to a class of decentralized navigation functions that encode optimal coverage and sensing policies. The approach exploits the computational geometry of Voronoi diagrams.
Our central motivation in this note is provided by distributed sensing networks in scientific exploration or surveillance missions. The motion coordination problem is to maximize the information provided by a swarm of vehicles taking measurement of some process.
