A Review on Sensor Network Issues and Robotics

Abstract EN

The interaction of distributed robotics and wireless sensor networks has led to the creation of mobile sensor networks.

There has been an increasing interest in building mobile sensor networks and they are the favored class of WSNs in which mobility plays a key role in the execution of an application.

More and more researches focus on development of mobile wireless sensor networks (MWSNs) due to its favorable advantages and applications.

In WSNs robotics can play a crucial role, and integrating static nodes with mobile robots enhances the capabilities of both types of devices and enables new applications.

In this paper we present an overview on mobile sensor networks in robotics and vice versa and robotic sensor network applications.
