Abstract :
Dynamic coverage is a problem of multi-robot systems based on wireless ad-hoc networks. The issue of dynamic coverage occurs notably in post-disaster survivor rescue, search operation, and planet exploration. In this paper, we introduce a novel algorithm of dynamic coverage in a realistically restricted environment for robots. This approach improves efficiency of moving around and amount of communication in a simulation environment. The paper presents comprehensive experimental results and discusses future research directions related to dynamic coverage.
