Abstract

Sensor networks are distributed systems that detect phenomena to produce detailed environmental assessments. The use of multirobot systems for carrying sensors around the environment represents a solution that has recently received considerable attention. In this paper we present an architecture for a multirobot system that performs tasks related to environmental perception; in particular, it is devoted to monitoring electro-magnetic fields.
