Abstract

This paper discusses development aspects of a wireless network of mobile autonomous Robotic Intelligent Sensor Agents deployed in the field for active investigation of multiple environmental parameters. The collected sensor data are fused in a world model, which is available to remote human supervisors as an interactive virtual Virtualized Reality™ environment model.
