Fecha de publicación: 08/01/2004 Fuente: WIPO "swarm" A system is described for remote sensing surveillance by configuring groups of automated mobile robotic vehicles (MRVs). The collection of MRVs have sensors that feed information to a central network node. As the MRVs interact with the environment, the mobile network adapts in real time by reconfiguring its spatial positions. This system, and the methods and apparatus involved therein, are applied to reconnaissance missions in order to collect information in remote hostile environments.
