Cooperative Robotics and Sensor Networks Isaac Rieksts My web site

How a sensor network works  What you need for a sensor network computer Base Motes  How this works together  Problems to solve

Basics of motes, base and computer

An example of a base

Security  Why we need security Denial of service attack  Jamming Node capture Privacy  Key sharing

How robots use the network  Without communication robots would allocate tasks inefficiently  How a robot uses the network

Fault Tolerant Robots  What we mean by fault tolerant  A look at the ALLIANCE program

Our simulators  OS for these simulators is Linux  Player  Stage  Gazebo

Example of Stage Web site for stage

Example of simulated spill

A look to the future  Sampling for Research  Rescue missions  Put a robot(s) in a place where it is not safe for people

Conclusion  We need to address security  Privacy could be a problem very soon  Still a lot of work to be done in my project
