Abstract :
This paper presents set-valued estimation algorithms for a mobile sensor network. A decentralized controller is also discussed; the controller utilizes the mobility of each sensor to improve the overall performance of the estimator. Simulations of the performance of the different set-valued estimation algorithms compare the results of a multi-agent system to a system using only local estimates, along with the performance of the sensor network tracking an evasive target.
