Abstract

Wireless sensor networks, have drawn a lot of interest because of their adaptability and range of uses in different industries. WSNs face significant challenges when it comes to energy efficiency because sensor nodes are usually battery-powered and have limited resources. Several energy-efficient methods and protocols, such as duty cycling, data aggregation, and topology management, have been put forth to address this problem. Moreover, new potential for mobile wireless sensor networks are presented by the integration of WSNs with mobile and static devices, such as drones, tablets, and smartphones. In this study, we suggest utilizing Zigbee technology to establish a robust and flexible monitoring system for both stationary and mobile sensors. Numerous industries, including healthcare, smart agriculture, asset tracking, energy management, smart home automation, and industrial monitoring and control, have made extensive use of Zigbee. By leveraging Zigbee's capabilities, we hope to improve the protocol's performance while establishing dependable communication links between nodes, analyzing the communication range, and assessing the influence of environmental conditions. In this study, a system model for Zigbee deployment in mobile robots will be presented. It will address the basics of Zigbee, communication difficulties, networking with Zigbee, and simulations or real-world outcomes. We will learn about the strengths and weaknesses of Zigbee-based systems in terms of creating reliable communication links in mobile wireless sensor networks by looking at their architecture and functionality. The results of this study will help us comprehend Zigbee's potential to improve monitoring systems and make better decisions across a range of industries. The study's emphasis on mobile monitoring systems signifies a step forward in addressing the evolving needs of wireless sensor networks in dynamic environments.
