LCN 2024, Keynote talk at 49th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks, October 8-10, 2024, Caen, France
The use of terrestrial or flying robots carrying radio equipment is the new promising frontier in our quest towards ever more flexible, adaptable wireless networks. Interestingly, robot-augmented networks are not only useful towards connectivity: They provide unique sensing capabilities. The ultimate selling point of in-network robots lies in their ability to self-navigate in 2D or 3D so as to optimize their data collection and consequently their sensing performance. However, scientific and practical challenges are also plentiful. In this talk we review recent work on robot-aided sensing and connectivity. Progress with real-life experiments and future directions will be reported.
