Claim One:
1. A method of deploying sensors by a robot in a geographical region, the method comprising: receiving from a server, a first instruction including information corresponding to the geographical region, the information including at least a plurality of boundary locations of the geographical region and a first coordinate of the geographical region corresponding to a starting location for sensor deployment; receiving from the server, a second instruction indicating one of a first manner and a second manner of deploying sensors in the geographical region; computing by circuitry, based on the second instruction, a path to traverse the geographical region in a plurality of steps, each step of the plurality of steps having a predetermined magnitude, the traversing being performed until one of a first stopping criteria corresponding to the first manner of deploying sensors and a second stopping criteria corresponding to the second manner of deploying sensors being satisfied; deploying sensors in the geographical region at each traversed step size; receiving from each deployed sensor, information indicating absence of sensors in a neighboring area of the deployed sensor; and repeating the traversing and deploying of sensors in the neighboring area based on the received information.
