Abstract

We present a brief overview of two intimately related problems in robots networks, namely, exploration of an environment and the surveillance of this environment. We also present variants of these two problems. For instance, the problem of foraging for resources is related to exploration. Similarly, the patrolling of an area is related to surveillance. Finally, the pursuit/chase of an intruder is somewhat related to both exploration and surveillance.
