In this paper a guidance law has been proposed to solve applications related to coverage of a pre-defined area using a mobile robot. In many situations, it may not be possible to measure all the information due to practical limitations or from computational point of view. So, we have used only range information to solve the above specified problem. The target point is considered to be stationary in this particular case. Now, for any initial condition for which the velocity vector of the robot is perpendicular to the line of sight with respect to the stationary target, the autonomous agent displays interesting behaviours which have been analysed theoretically. All the analytical results obtained here have been validated through MATLAB simulations also.
