Decentralized Optimal Control for Very-Large-Scale Distributed Sensing System

Project Description

This project seeks to develop a theoretical framework for the analysis, control of cooperative sensing systems comprised of groups of autonomous robots that are equipped with identical sensors to optimize multiple cooperative measurement objectives, e.g. gas distribution mapping (GDM).
