Abstract

This project investigates coupled sensor configuration and planning (CSCP) for autonomous systems, which is a mode of active control of information in context to a decision-making problem. We consider a scenario consisting of a network of mobile vehicles called sensors, and a separate network of mobile vehicles called actors. Sensors gather information about the environment whereas actors perform desired tasks. Specifically, the actors perform tasks encoded in terms of multi-vehicle route-planning problems in a threatening environment. The threat is an unknown spatiotemporally-varying scalar field that is estimated using observations made by sensors.
