A simulation environment for multi-sensor planning

摘要

The aim of this work is to design a flexible multi- agent environment for simulating the deployment of multiple sensors for a given sensing task. The envi- ronment is based on a multi-agent architecture such that each sensor is controlled by an autonomous in- telligent agent. This allows the user great flexibility in manipulating the number of sensors and also the capabilities of each sensor. The simulation system permits the user to visualize the outcome of the de- polyment for various sensor configurations prior to implementation in the real world.
