Decentralized sensor networks promise virtually unlimited scalability and can tolerate individual component failures. Interaction with human operators plays an important role in the overall system design. The authors describe an experimental active sensor network and identify modes of human-robot interaction that keep up with the network?s arbitrary growth.
