788.11J Presentation “Robot Navigation using a Sensor Network ” Presented by Hui Cao CENS USC
The Main Idea Mobile robots used in sensor networks The network: the communication, sensing and computation The robots: actuation (mobility) The goal is to minimize the cumulative alarm On Time across all alarms
The Main Achievements Distributed In-Network Task Allocation
The Challenges Tasks in the environment are geographically and temporally spread Assign tasks to robots optimally in an online fashion

Conclusion Convergence problem Don’t care communication No feedback, no control theory applied although we have actuation!
