Description
Summary:This report describes the methods used in designing a sensing and data exchange network to address some of the challenges caused by the mobility of each mobile robots in the network. The methods involves firstly, the method of obtaining and processing data from the sensor, which would be used as the data packet in the network. Secondly, choosing the suitable components to cope with the dynamic nature of the network topology and the implementation of a scheduler to prevent data packet collision. Lastly, the software implementation of the behaviour of the mobile robot with the aid of a laser range finder in this project. The results obtained from this project shows that successful data packet transmission is achievable despite the challenges caused by the mobile robot in the network.
