Abstract

Recently, MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) researchers have shown increased interest towards using mobile robot technology for their testbed platforms. Despite the existence of articles that discuss the usage of mobile robot technology pertaining to MANET testbed from the perspective of MANET researcher, the discussion provided in the papers are rather lacklustre as it is not the sole purpose of those articles. Hence, this review aims to discuss MANET testbeds that were facilitated with mobile robot technology from previous undertaken researches. With the wealth of information provided in this paper, it is hoped that this paper will be the ultimate source of reference for other MANET researchers who need to choose the most suitable mobile robots with real mobility in their MANET testbeds.
