Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing interest towards development of sensor network (SN) systems, or more broadly defined as a network of unmanned systems (NUMS), that can operate autonomously for an extended period of time without an extensive involvement of human operators. In this chapter, we provide a brief introduction to these networks, their applications, the control problems that arise in this domain, as well as solutions that are proposed for these problems in the literature.
