Decentralized control for a swarm of vehicles performing source localization Academic Article

abstract

• In this paper, decentralized feedback controls are presented for a swarm of autonomous, robotic vehicles that is tasked with localizing a stationary, time-invariant source. The development of the feedback controls is motivated by classic function-minimization theory and the method is actually suited for a large collection of agents, where collection of agents may refer to, for example, a population of N design points in some variable space. We present the theory that supports the method, some example problems and their simulations to illustrate the method, and discuss some potential applications. 2004 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
