Project Details: Coordinated Actuation
TITLE
 

Coordinated Actuation for Sensing Uncertainty Reduction


SUMMARY
 

Motion may be used in sensor networks to achieve a desirable network configurations for improving the sensing performance. Mobility itself may have a high resource overhead, hence we exploit a constrained form of mobility which has very low overheads but provides significant reconfiguration potential. The objective is to maximize spatial coverage and resolution while simultaneously minimizing sensing resources. The project focuses on distributed methods to control the motion of the sensor nodes in response to the environmental dynamics and sensing demands.
