Decision-making of robots in distributed control of diffusion process

Control of diffusion process using mobile sensors and actuators are considered in this paper. Taking inspiration on human decision making process, the Win-Stay and Lose-Switch (WSLS) strategies are employed in the exploring and detoxifying the poisonous process which described using parabolic partial differential equation. Two algorithms are given for each robot to choose exploring or detoxifying action in next time step. Simulation results using Diff-MAS2D for measurement scheduling and controls in distributed parameter systems has illustrated the effectiveness of proposed methods.
