Abstract
We present Ragobot, a fully-featured validated platform for use in mobile sensor networks. Ragobot is a robot of small dimensions with features that surpass those provided by many other robots in this category. Ragobot hardware and software are implemented with modularity as one of the main considerations; therefore, these are easy to upgrade and customize according to the needs of each specific application. Moreover, we present Ragoworld, a controlled physical space for the development and evaluation of mobile sensor network algorithms.
