Self Organizing Sensor Networks for Process Monitoring and automation

In today's hi-tech and hi-precision world, robot finds its application in many areas to carryout operations that are either routine, highly complex and critical, hazardous or of high-precision nature. Robots when networked offer many benefits such as increased maneuverability and efficiency. This paper makes a study on the present developmental status and details the design features of Self Organizing Sensor Networks for Automation and Process Monitoring. The goal is to define a model-based development process for large sensor-actuator networks with a focus on wireless communication. It also makes a survey on the present developmental status and details the design features of networking modular production systems using Embedded Wireless Multifunctional Sensor Networks. It is intended to use this work as basis for future research work in the area of cooperative behavior of robots and also in the area of modular production systems and Robotics.
