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 http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/stage/stage.html
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
