Embedded Sensor Networks for Process Monitoring and Mechatronic Applications

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. The goal is to define a model-based development process for large sensor-actuator networks with a focus on wireless communication. This paper makes a study on the present developmental status and details the design features of Autonomous Self Organizing Embedded Sensor Networks for Process Monitoring. It is intended to use this work as basis for future research work in the area of modular production systems.
