Many sensor network applications require location awareness, but it is often too expensive
to include a GPS receiver in a sensor network node. Hence, localization schemes for sensor …

This paper introduces jumping robots as a means to traverse rough terrain; such terrain can
pose problems for traditional wheeled, tracked and legged designs. The diversity of jumping …

Humans have been fascinated with nature and attempting to mimic what they see in nature
for millennia. Using inspiration from organisms found in nature assists in developing a …

A Literature Review on the Design of Spherical Rolling Robots Page 1 1 Abstract— There are
many advantages to the use of spherical robot designs. The current status of the design of …

This article surveys mobility patterns and mobility models for wirelss networks. Mobility
patterns are classified into the following types: pedestrians, vehicles, aerial, dynamic …

The use of soft robots in future space exploration is still a far-fetched idea, but an attractive
one. Soft robots are inherently compliant mechanisms that are well suited for locomotion on …

Localization is a fundamental issue in Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks (MWSNs). Several
localization methods have been proposed, but the main idea in them was that some static …

A sphere is" the set of all points in three-dimensional space lying the same distance (the
radius) from a given point (the centre)"(Encyclopedia Britannica Online). In terms of robotics …
