Different authors have addressed a number of problems in the area of distributed control
proposing convincing solutions to specific problems such as static coverage, dynamic …

Abstract Heat Equation Driven Area Coverage (HEDAC) is a state-of-the-art multi-agent
ergodic motion control guided by a gradient of a potential field. A finite element method is …

Planning for multi-robot coverage seeks to determine collision-free paths for a fleet of robots,
enabling them to collectively observe points of interest in an environment. Persistent …

Enabling multiple robots to collaboratively per-form coverage path planning on complex
surfaces embedded in R^3 in the presence of moving obstacles is a challenging problem …

This paper presents a coverage controller that allows a team of robots with qualitatively
different mobility types to achieve an effective coverage over a domain consisting of multiple …

To dynamically monitor areas of interest by a group of mobile robots, an effective coverage
control strategy for heterogeneous driftless control affine systems is developed in this letter …

The persistent coverage control problem is solved in a decentralized fashion for a multi-
robot team with limited sensing capability and loss of awareness over time. Each agent in …

With the increased use of robots with different performance characteristics in areas such as
search and rescue, patrolling and surveillance, the control of multiple robots with unequal …

Recent advances on the design of autonomous mobile agents have motivated the use of the
latter in persistent surveillance tasks with applications in agriculture, information gathering …

Traditional robot coverage is the problem of determining a collision-free path for a robot that
covers all points of interest in an environment [10]. Persistent cov-erage seeks to …
