The focus is on autonomous vehicle networks performing distributed sensing tasks where each vehicle plays the role of a mobile tunable sensor. The paper proposes gradient descent algorithms for a class of utility functions which encode optimal coverage and sensing policies. The resulting closed-loop behavior is adaptive, distributed, asynchronous, and verifiably correct.13 pages; double column; 6 figures; submitted to IEEE Transactions on Robotics and AutomationOptimization and ControlInformation Theory68W15; 49N90; 93B52; 51M20; 70E60Coverage control for mobile sensing networkstext
