| contents | This paper presents a cooperative multi-robot multi-target tracking framework aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the heterogeneous sensor network and, consequently, improving overall target tracking accuracy. The concept of normalized unused sensing capacity is introduced to quantify the information a sensor is currently gathering relative to its theoretical maximum. This measurement can be computed using entirely local information and is applicable to various sensor models, distinguishing it from previous literature on the subject. It is then utilized to develop a distributed coverage control strategy for a heterogeneous sensor network, adaptively balancing the workload based on each sensor's current unused capacity. The algorithm is validated through a series of ROS and MATLAB simulations, demonstrating superior results compared to standard approaches that do not account for heterogeneity or current usage rates. |
