....from this work in that our goal is not to calculate the trajectories of the targets, but rather to find dynamic sensor placements that minimize the collective time that any target is not being observed by at least one of the mobile sensors. In the area of multi robot surveillance, Everett t aL [10] have developed a coordinated multiple security robot control system for warehouse surveillance and inventory assessment. The system is semiautonomous, and utilizes autonomous navigation with human supervisory control when needed. They propose a hybrid navigational scheme which encourages the use ....

.... Unfortunately, the lack of rigorous, scalable methodologies for designing and analyzing such fully distributed robotics systems has, for the moment, prevented a more extensive application of the Swarm Intelligence approach to real world applications such as tra#c regulation [31] or surveillance [7]. This article aims at contributing to research in swarm intelligence (i) by making a quantitative study of how collaboration in a group of simple reactive, autonomous robots can be obtained and controlled through the exploitation of local interactions, and (ii) by proposing a novel methodology ....

.... in this particular case, the proposed stigmergic algorithm is the naive algorithm. Again, group architecture and learning are major research themes in addressing this problem. Other interesting task domains that have received attention in the literature include multirobot security systems [53], landmine detection and clearance [54] robotic structural support systems (i.e. keeping structures stable in case of, say, an earthquake) 107] map making [149] and assembly of objects using multiple robots [175] Organization of Paper With respect to our above definition of cooperative ....

....the trajectories of the targets, but rather to find dynamic sensor placements that minimize the collective time that any target is not being monitored (or observed) by at least one of the mobile sensors. Finally, a number of authors have developed systems for multi robot surveillance (e.g. [5, 6, 17]) However, this related research in multi robot surveillance does not deal with the issue of interest in this paper the dynamic placement of mobile sensors in areas in which targets may enter and exit. 4 Problem Difficulty The CMOMMT problem outlined above is a difficult problem; we now ....

An optional Virtual Reality Display can be connected to the network, if desired, to provide a realistic three dimensional model of the operating environment [Everett et al., 1993] and platform progress. The MDARS Support Computer provides a telephone interface to MDARS capable of performing calls for emergency event notification and receiving and processing incoming user technician queries. The MDARS Support Computer also provides automated video switching capabilities for ....
