Sensing Systems: Networked Robot Approach

5.1    Introduction

Sensing system is the fundamental components in most of robotic systems. Nowadays, we humans live in the world with ubiquitous sensors, and access to the Internet via smart phones and computers to refer to information in distant locations. In similar metaphor, as robots are networked, large part of sensing can be done with ubiquitous sensors in network robot system. The studies in the Chapter 2 already shows examples of network robots working in a real fields. In this chapter we specifically introduce a couple of techniques in details.

There are several sensors used for sensor networks. This book focuses on the following five sensors:

a.  Floor sensors

b.  Active tags

c.  Passive ...
