We consider coverage problems in robot sensor networks with minimal sensing capabilities. In particular, we demonstrate that a "blind" swarm of robots with no localization and only a weak form of distance estimation can rigorously determine coverage in a bounded planar domain of unknown size and shape. The methods we introduce come from algebraic topology.
