Abstract

In this paper we show the Lyapunov stability of an adaptive and decentralized coverage control for a team of mobile sensors. This new coverage approach assumes nonholonomic sensors rather than the holonomic ones usually found in the literature. Furthermore, sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee an ultimate bound for the system when in presence of time-varying sensory functions. The convergence and feasibility of the coverage control are verified through simulation and experimental results.
