This paper presents an overview of the work carried out by
the Group of Robotics, Vision and Control (GRVC) at the
University of Seville on the cooperation between mobile
robots and sensor networks. The GRVC, led by Professor
Anibal Ollero, has been working over the last ten years on
techniques where robots and sensor networks exploit
synergies and collaborate tightly, developing numerous
research projects on the topic. In this paper, based on our
research, we introduce what we consider some relevant
challenges when combining sensor networks with mobile
robots. Then, we describe our developed techniques and
main results for these challenges. In particular, the paper
focuses on autonomous self-deployment of sensor networks;
cooperative localization and tracking; self-localization
and mapping; and large-scale scenarios. Extensive
experimental results and lessons learnt are also discussed
