A methodology is developed to deploy a mobile sensor network for the purpose of detecting
and capturing mobile targets in the plane. The sensing-pursuit problem considered in this
paper is analogous to the Marco Polo game, in which a pursuer Marco must capture multiple
mobile targets that are sensed intermittently, and with very limited information. The
competing objectives exhibited by this problem arise in a number of surveillance and
monitoring applications. In this paper, the mobile sensor network consists of a set of robotic …

paper is analogous to the Marco Polo game, in which the pursuer must capture multiple
mobile targets that are sensed intermittently, and with very limited information. In this paper,
the mobile sensor network consists of a set of robotic sensors that must track and capture
mobile targets based on the information obtained through cooperative detections. Since the …
