This paper addresses the sweep coverage problem of multi-agent systems in the uncertain
environment. A novel formulation of distributed sweep coverage is proposed for multiple
agents to cooperatively complete the workload in the coverage region. To save the sweep
time, each agent takes part in partitioning the whole region using its partition bar while
sweeping its own subregion at a constant rate. The trajectories of partition bars form the
boundaries between adjacent subregions. Essentially, the partition operation is carried out …
