N2 - In a network of micro sensors, the network capabilities can be greatly enhanced if participant nodes are able to fine-tune their positions. Even when a node is optimally located, it could benefit from subtle maneuvers that optimize the functionality of the node’s directional sensors. In particular, the ability to aim a directional networking interface (e.g., antenna) is essential for low-power networking that is enforced by the tiny form-factor of the nodes. This paper presents a prototype design for a multi-terrain sensor-carrying micro robot, which excels in subtle movements. The robot has an egg-shaped shell, which provides protection, recover-ability and unique maneuvering capabilities in versatile terrains. We demonstrate the advantages of the suggested design in the context of dynamic sensor networks.
