Problem Statement Technological advances in
embedded wireless sensors have enabled the
emergence of robust and cost-efficient networked
sensing. For some applications, it may be
desirable to have these mobile wireless sensors
form specific formations to facilitate
collaborative sensing tasks. The ultimate goal
of the research is to develop an algorithm that
only relies on local sensing and communication to
form different shapes, in responding to the needs
of the sensing tasks. The purpose of the current
project is to take an non-networked formation
algorithm and implement it in a network
environment and experiment with different aspects
of the algorithm.
