A unified framework for developing planning and control algorithms for
active sensing, with examples of applications for specific sensor
technologies.
Active sensor systems, increasingly deployed in such applications as
unmanned vehicles, mobile robots, and environmental monitoring, are
characterized by a high degree of autonomy, reconfigurability, and
redundancy. This book is the first to offer a unified framework for the
development of planning and control algorithms for active sensing, with
examples of applications for a range of specific sensor technologies.
The methods presented can be characterized as information-driven because
their goal is to optimize the value of information, rather than to
optimize traditional guidance and navigation objectives.
