Robot-assisted wireless relay deployment strategy for unknown environments

Self‐deployed wireless actor networks with maximal task satisfaction

“…In the case of people are trapped and no safe path exists, robots are dispatched to find an escape path by avoiding obstacles from the path [18]. In [23], robots are used to extend the covered area by deploying relay nodes to connect devices that are apart from each other. Robot‐assisted deployment has been shown to overcome small obstacles, but large obstacles may lead to sporadic navigation paths.…”
