Abstract
This chapter discusses the investigative process that was taken during the development of a biologically inspired coverage controller. The test case scenarios that were considered during development are also discussed in this chapter together with how the simulators used in this book were developed. In Chap. 1, it was mentioned that the goal was to be able to deploy a swarm of robots to form the distribution of an invisible dynamic spatiotemporal quantity. In addition, the swarm should also have the capability of responding to changes in the distribution of the quantity with the fluidity of a natural flock of starlings in flight.
