Abstract :
Robotics can have many applications in wireless sensor networks. Robotics can be used to help solve many problems in wireless sensor networks, such as localizing nodes, acting as data mules, repositioning nodes, detecting and reacting to sensor failure, aggregate sensor data, and even sometimes provide mobile battery chargers for the nodes. Inversely, wireless sensor networks can help solve many problems in robotics, such as localization of the robot, path planning, mapping, and sensing.
