This paper introduces the application of a sensor network to navigate a flying robot. We have developed distributed\udalgorithms and efficient geographic routing techniques to incrementally guide one or more robots to points of interest\udbased on sensor gradient fields, or along paths defined in terms of Cartesian coordinates. The robot itself is an integral\udpart of the localization process which establishes the positions of sensors which are not known a priori.\udWe use this system in a large-scale outdoor experiment with Mote sensors to guide an autonomous helicopter\udalong a path encoded in the network. A simple handheld device, using this same environmental infrastructure, is used\udto guide humans
