Abstract :
We developed a novel, multiple vehicle extension to a typical, single vehicle chemical plume source localization algorithm. The approach is implemented and tested in MATLAB®. We discuss simulations results to assess the potential of using the multiple vehicle approach. It occurs that there can be an advantage from using multiple vehicles.
