The Visibility-based Persistent Monitoring (VPM) problem seeks to find a set of trajectories (or controllers) for robots to persistently monitor a changing environment. Each robot has a sensor, such as a camera, with a limited field-of-view that is obstructed by obstacles in the environment. The robots may need to coordinate with each other to ensure no point in the environment is left unmonitored...
