This book compiles some of the latest research in cooperation between robots and sensor networks. Structured in twelve chapters, this book addresses fundamental, theoretical, implementation and experimentation issues. The chapters are organized into four parts namely multi-robots systems, data fusion and localization, security and dependability, and mobility.

This book presents extensive research on two main problems in robotics: the path planning problem and the multi-robot task allocation problem.

Building on the successful first and second volumes, this book is the third volume of the Springer book on the Robot Operating System (ROS): The Complete Reference. Further, the ROS is being integrated into various robots and systems and is becoming an embedded technology in emerging robotics platforms.
