Title
Deployment and Connectivity Repair of a Sensor Net with a Flying Robot
Abstract
We consider multi-robot systems that include sensor nodes and aerial or ground robots networked together. Such networks are suitable for tasks such as large-scale envi- ronmental monitoring or for command and control in emergency situations. We present a sensor network deployment method using autonomous aerial vehicles and describe in de- tail the algorithms used for deployment and for measuring network connectivity and provide experimental data collected from eld trials. A particular focus is on determining gaps in connectivity of the deployed network and generating a plan for repair, to complete the con- nectivity. This project is the result of a collaboration between three robotics labs (CSIRO, USC, and Dartmouth.)
