abstract = "In this paper we consider a problem of sensing a given area with a group of mobile agents equipped with appropriate sensors. The goal of the agents is to satisfy multiple objectives where one of the objectives is to sense or cover the area, the other one is to avoid collisions with the other vehicles as well as with the static obstacles, and finally to stay close enough during the operation time so that the wireless communication between the agents would be kept reliable. The mathematical formulation of the problem is done by first designing nonnegative functions or functionals which correspond to the objectives and then by constructing control laws based on the objective functions/functionals. To illustrate the procedure we provide an example with three agents with nonhomogeneous sensing capabilities and two obstacles.",
