Abstract
We propose a state-feedback control scheme for area coverage problems using a group of agents operating in a time varying environment. The coverage metric defining the optimal control problem encodes a time-varying risk density that models an evolving environment in which the agents operate. The evolution of the environment is caused by the presence of mobile external objects (targets). Maximum coverage can be accomplished by deploying more (less) agents to the part of the area marked with a high (low) risk density, resulting into non-uniform agents' distributions that adapt to the environment. The workspace is partitioned according to a Voronoi tessellation with respect to a distance that quantifies robots' sensing performances. For every initial configuration of the group of agents in the workspace, the proposed non-autonomous state-feedback controller asymptotically drives the agents to time varying centroids of the Voronoi tessellation, therefore positioning them in the optimal configuration with respect to the performance measured by the coverage metric. The proposed control scheme is illustrated by simulations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
