Title
Multi-agent search using sensors with heterogeneous capabilities
Abstract
In this paper we introduce a new concept namely, generalized Voronoi partition and use it to formulate two heterogeneous multi-agent search strategies. The core idea is optimal deployment of agents having sensors with heterogeneous capabilities, in a search space so as to maximize search effectiveness. We address a few theoretical issues such as optimality of deployment, convergence and spatial distributedness of the control law and the search strategies.
