Description
This book provides a thorough treatment of the performance modeling strategies and control algorithms required for the design and use of information-gathering autonomous agents comprised of unmanned vehicles equipped with multiple sensors, computing, and communication devices. These agents are becoming vital to a variety of applications in environmental monitoring, industrial monitoring, ecology, security and defense. The use of unmanned vehicles has changed the way in which these communities perform sensing over large spaces.
