Abstract

Multi-robot systems (MRS) have received a great deal of attention recently due to their potential to address complex distributed tasks such as environmental monitoring, search and rescue, agriculture, and security [3, 4, 5, 1, 2]. One specific type of multi-robot system that has significant near term promise is fleets of autonomous watercraft for applications such as flood response, water monitoring and bathymetry. Small watercraft are an attractive option for real world multi-robot systems because some of the most critical robotic problems are minimized on water - movement is relatively simple and dangers are relatively low.
