Robotfish-based Underwater Mobile Sensor Networks for Environmental Monitoring

摘要

Rapid progress in MEMS technology and the ability to build devicesrncapable of communicating among each other has promoted therndevelopment of sensor networks. In this paper, underwater mobilernreconfigurable sensor networks architecture is presented to monitorrnenvironment. This system is divided into three modules: sensing,rncommunication and processing. Focusing on a practical problem,rnfinding the heat source position in finite water area, algorithms ofrnforming equilateral triangle and search are presented to locate thernposition. Robotfish is adopted as carrier to fix sensors in this paper. Thernvalidity of the algorithms is tested through simulations.
