This paper describes a pattern for the architecture of web-based wireless sensor network monitoring. Sensor nodes are used to measure characteristics of the physical environment and sensed data is stored on the Internet using web-based technologies. Users can access data remotely as long as they have Internet connectivity. Many wireless sensor network applications developed today use smartphone...

We propose to study the symbiotic relationship between mobility, navigation, and localization in the context of wireless sensor networks and mobile objects. We observe that mobility can aid in network node localization and that once localized, the network nodes can localize and track a mobile object (robot) and guide its navigation. Our motivation, and the ultimate goal of this work, is to real...

The advances in mobile robotics allow us today to add the mobility concept into many different classes of Wireless Sensor Networks. The deployment of mobile sensors is possible and useful in many application scenarios, ranging from the environmental monitoring and public safety applications, to the industry, healthcare and military applications. Two topics are elaborated in this thesis: network...

We are working to develop an information gathering system comprising a mobile robot and a wireless sensor network (WSN) for use in post-disaster underground environments. In the proposed system, a mobile robot carries wireless sensor nodes and deploys them to construct a WSN in the environment, thus providing a wireless communication infrastructure for mobile robot teleoperation. An operator th...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are broadly used in many applications including surveillance. There are many approaches of target tracking in WSN. Generally sensor node needs to move to different location to keep track of signal-emitting target. Time of Arrival with respect to signal is the measurement employed to make mobile sensor moving decisions. Recently Xu et al. proposed a mechanism for ...
