Abstract: In this paper, we detail our development of Explorebots--expandable, vision- and sensor-equipped wireless robots built around MICA motes. We developed Explorebots as a dynamic outreach for an NSF-funded Girl Scouts project. We've extended the capabilities of Explorebots to comprise a mobile network experimentation testbed. The testbed will support experimental analysis of protocols for mobile multi-hop networks. The low-cost Explorebots enable repeatable experiments without complete reliance on human subjects for mobility.

Efficient Placement and Dispatch of Sensors in a Wireless Sensor Network
TL;DR: The solution to the placement problem allows an arbitrary-shaped sensing field possibly with arbitrary- shaped obstacles and an arbitrary relationship between the communication distance and sensing distance of sensors and, thus, significantly relaxes the limitations of existing results.

Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks Applications and Security Challenges
Bambang Harjito,Song Han +1 more
- 04 Nov 2010
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present WMSNs application and security challenges, which stem the fact that some of the sensor node will have video cameras and higher computation capabilities. And they also present new security of challenges as well as new opportunities.

A directionality based location discovery scheme for wireless sensor networks
Asis Nasipuri,Kai Li +1 more
- 28 Sep 2002
TL;DR: A new method by which a sensor node can determine its location by listening to wireless transmissions from three or more fixed beacon nodes is presented, based on an angle-of-arrival estimation technique that does not increase the complexity or cost of construction of the sensor nodes.
Coverage, exploration, and deployment by a mobile robot and communication network
Maxim A. Batalin,Gaurav S. Sukhatme +1 more
- 22 Apr 2003
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of coverage and exploration of an unknown dynamic environment using a mobile robot and present an efficient minimalist algorithm which assumes that global information is not available (neither a map, nor GPS).
Lowering the barrier to wireless and mobile experimentation
Brian S. White,Jay Lepreau,Shashi Guruprasad +2 more
- 01 Jan 2003
TL;DR: It is argued that a live wireless and mobile experimental facility focusing on ease of use and accessibility will not only greatly lower the barrier to research in these areas, but that the primary technical challenges can be overcome.
TopBot: automated network topology detection with a mobile robot
P. Blaer,Peter K. Allen +1 more
- 10 Nov 2003
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a properly-equipped mobile robot can easily construct a detailed map of the wireless coverage of an urban environment with a quality measure (the signal-to-noise ratio) of every detected signal.
Coverage, Exploration and Deployment by a Mobile Robot and Communication Network
TL;DR: An efficient minimalist algorithm which assumes that global information is not available is presented which deploys a network of radio beacons which assists the robot in coverage and also used by the robot for navigation.
