A Swarm-Based Fuzzy Logic Control Mobile Sensor Network for Hazardous Contaminants Localization

Overview This paper describes a swarm-based Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) mobile sensor network approach for collaboratively locating the hazardous contaminants in an unknown large-scale area. The mobile sensor network is composed of a collection of distributed nodes (robots), each of which has limited sensing, intelligence and communication capabilities. An ad-hoc wireless network is established among all nodes, and each node considers other nodes as extended sensors. By gathering other nodes' locations and measurement data, each node's FLC can independently determine its next optimal deployment location. Simultaneously, by applying the three properties of the swarm behavior: separation, cohesion and alignment, the approach can ensure the sensor network attains wide regional coverage and dynamically stable connectivity.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Six degrees and super nodes

They are almost always clustered assemblies that concentrate around a smallish number of super nodes. The tragedy is those who could be super nodes but choose not to be and instead become rapidly isolated.
