Abstract
Recently, various communication technologies have been developed in order to satisfy the requirements of many users. Especially, mobile communication technology continues to develop rapidly and Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are attracting attention from many researchers in order to provide cost efficient broadband wireless connectivity. The main issue of WMNs is to improve network connectivity and stability in terms of user coverage. In this paper, we implement a moving omnidirectional access point robot (called MOAP robot) and propose a position detecting system for the robot. In order to realize moving Access Points, the MOAP robot should move to omnidirectional in 2 dimensional space. It is important that the MOAP robot moves to an accurate position in order to have a good connectivity. Thus, MOAP robot can provide good communication and stability for WMNs.
