A method of controlling movement of an agent operating within an autonomous system includes determining, using a processing device associated with the agent, a highest attraction point for the agent on a line of optimal transmission between a detected event within an area of surveillance by the autonomous system and a base station within the autonomous system, and calculating an attraction force for the agent, based on the line of optimal transmission and location of the detected event; determining proximity of the agent to one or more additional agents operating within the autonomous system, and calculating a repulsion force for the agent so as to maintain a minimum separating distance between the agent and the one or more additional agents; calculating a resultant force for the agent based on the attraction force and the repulsion force; and changing a direction of the agent based on the resultant force. |
