Bioinspired Multipurpose Approach to the Sampling Problem

Abstract

Currently, the sampling problem has gained wide popularity in the field of autonomous mobile agent control due to the wide range of practical and fundamental problems described with its framework. This paper considers a combined decentralized control strategy that incorporates both elements of biologically inspired and gradient-based approaches. Its key feature is multitasking, consisting in the possibility of solving several tasks in parallel included in the sampling problem: localization and monitoring of several sources and restoration of the given level line boundaries.
