Abstract
An active sensing system includes an agent and at least one sensor operatively associated with the agent. The at least one sensor includes one or more emitters configured and disposed to establish a sensing zone. A conflict identification module is configured and disposed to identify one or more sensor conflict regions, and an active sensor controller is operatively connected to the at least one sensor and the conflict identification module. The active sensor controller is configured and disposed to form an adjustment zone within the sensing zone to accommodate the one or more sensor conflict regions.
