چکیده
This paper introduces an on-going research effort at the Peter Kiewit Institute (PKI) at Omaha, Nebraska for developing sensor-aided intelligent mobile robots that provide high-level navigation functions for indoor construction site security and safety using wireless sensor networking (WSN) technology. The ultimate goal of the research is the complete integration of the sensor-equipped robots into the WSN system to visualize sensed data information into 3D graphical control interface for advanced planning and execution against any anomalies that have been detected in warehouses, office buildings, manufacturing facilities, and various construction sites everywhere there's a need for advanced frontline security.
