Download or read book Autonomous Or Assisted Deployment by Mobile Robots of Wireless Sensor Networks written by Ines Khoufi Saadallah and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless sensor networks are deployed to monitor physical phenomena. The accuracy of information collected depends on sensor node positions. These positions must meet the application requirements in terms of coverage and connectivity. Therefore, deployment algorithms are necessary to determine the optimal positions of sensor nodes. This thesis focuses on the deployment of wireless sensor nodes, first when these nodes are autonomous, and secondly when they are static and the deployment is assisted by mobile robots. In both cases, this deployment must not only meet the application requirements in terms of coverage and connectivity, but also minimize the number of sensors needed while satisfying various constraints (e.g. obstacles, energy, fault-tolerant connectivity). We proposed autonomous deployment algorithms that avoid node oscillations: ADVFA, GDVFA and OA-DVFA to monitor 2D areas and 3D-DVFA to monitor a 3D space. In case of a deployment assisted by mobile robots, we proposed two approaches to optimize the deployment duration. The first one is based on game theory to optimize the length of the paths of two robots (TRDS) and the second is based on the multi-objective optimization, with a number of robots greater than or equal to 2 (MRDS). The objectives to be met are: optimizing the duration of the longest tour duration, balancing the durations of the robot tours and minimizing the number of robots used, while bypassing obstacles.
Download or read book Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks 2014 written by Anis Koubaa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second volume on Cooperative Robots and Sensor Networks. The primary objective of this book is to provide an up-to-date reference for cutting-edge studies and research trends related to mobile robots and wireless sensor networks, and in particular for the coupling between them. Indeed, mobile robots and wireless sensor networks have enabled great potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive applications. Robotics and wireless sensor networks have mostly been considered as separate research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features, enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support to each other. The book consists of ten chapters, organized into four parts. The first part of the book presents three chapters related to localization of mobile robots using wireless sensor networks. Two chapters presented new solutions based Extended Kalman Filter and Particle Filter for localizing the robots using range measurements with the sensor network. The third chapter presents a survey on mobility-assisted localization techniques in wireless sensor networks. The second part of the book deals with cooperative robots and sensor networks applications. One chapter presents a comprehensive overview of major applications coupling between robots and sensor networks and provides real-world examples of their cooperation. Two other chapters present applications for underwater robots and sensor networks.

Download or read book Decentralized Coverage Control Problems For Mobile Robotic Sensor and Actuator Networks written by Andrey V. Savkin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces various coverage control problems for mobile sensor networks including barrier, sweep and blanket. Unlike many existing algorithms, all of the robotic sensor and actuator motion algorithms developed in the book are fully decentralized or distributed, computationally efficient, easily implementable in engineering practice and based only on information on the closest neighbours of each mobile sensor and actuator and local information about the environment. Moreover, the mobile robotic sensors have no prior information about the environment in which they operation. These various types of coverage problems have never been covered before by a single book in a systematic way. Another topic of this book is the study of mobile robotic sensor and actuator networks. Many modern engineering applications include the use of sensor and actuator networks to provide efficient and effective monitoring and control of industrial and environmental processes. Such mobile sensor and actuator networks are able to achieve improved performance and efficient monitoring together with reduction in power consumption and production cost.

Download or read book Use of Wireless Sensors to Improve Robot Lifetime for Multi threat Containment written by Michael D. Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Autonomous robots can be used in a decentralized environment to contain threats. While working in this capacity, these motor propelled robots are constantly moving, therefore drawing a large amount of current from the battery. If these algorithms are to be implemented in hardware, it is important to ensure that the robots move only when necessary in an effort to optimize battery life. This work introduces static wireless sensors to assist robots in detecting threats. By having a sufficient number of wireless sensors available to detect threats, it is hypothesized that a similar containment performance can be achieved with less robot movements. When not actively containing threats, the robots may enter a sleep mode thus optimizing energy conservation. The notion of multi-mode operations has been utilized in other wireless sensor network applications. In the field of cooperative robotics however, little has been investigated for system performance when both mobile robots and static sensors co-exist. This work leverages previously developed multi-threat containment algorithms and the notion of multi-mode operations from wireless sensor network research community and examines the scenarios where wireless sensors can benefit the overall system performance. Battery models and additional sensors and obstacles are introduced to a previously developed simulator, MAHESHDAS. Various battery models and parameters are considered to mimic a realistic environment. The sensor nodes occupy a small amount of physical space and therefore assist the robots with threat detection, while also limiting their movements. Robots are assumed to be ground vehicles, and need to avoid collisions with each other as well as sensor nodes and other obstacles. Repulsion forces are used to model the collision avoidance between the various obstacles. The percentage of threats contained, the time to contain threats, and the average robot lifetime are compared in different operational scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate that the introduction of wireless sensors improve the average robot lifetime when the threats do not occur too often and when the sensor repulsion force is relatively small. Uniform sensor placement is also shown to perform better than random deployment."--Abstract.
