1. A system for performing distributed sequential node localization in active sensor deployment, comprising: an equilateral orthogonal reference frame comprising s+1 anchor nodes that is placed in s-dimensional physical space; and a mobile effector to sequentially place new nodes in a natural sequential ordering within the s-dimensional physical space to form a sequentially well-connected network, for each of the new nodes, comprising: a telemetry interface to obtain location estimates for the new node from at least s+1 of the anchor nodes previously placed in the s-dimensional physical space; and a placement evaluator to determine a location for the new node based on the location estimates, wherein the new node is placed in the s-dimensional physical space as a new anchor node proximate to at least one of the s+1 previously-placed anchor nodes upon satisfactory location determination.
