Abstract
Coordinated navigation to a single perfectly known target by multiple cooperating sensor-equipped agents in a partially known static environment is investigated. Original results on the spatial distribution of the agents under an-optimal policy are derived using dynamic programming and neurodynamic programming techniques. Practical implications are discussed.
