Information-Driven Planning And Control Av Silvia Ferrari, Thomas A. Wettergren

<b>A unified framework for developing planning and control algorithms for active sensing, with examples of applications for specific sensor technologies.</b><br><br>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.
