        goGarcia!  (Final project in CprE 594 Mobile & Pervasive Computing, Fall 2007)     

Brief Description

goGarcia is a target tracking demo system consisting of a wireless sensor network and a WLAN. Once an event is detected and reported by sensors, the base station will dispatch a robot to approach the event location. The wireless sensor network will also navigate the robot.
