    abstract = {We consider multi-robot systems that include sensor nodes and
aerial or ground robots networked together. Such networks are suitable for
tasks such as large-scale environmental monitoring or for command and control
in emergency situations. We present a sensor network deployment method using
autonomous aerial vehicles and describe in detail the algorithms used for
deployment and for measuring network connectivity and provide experimental
data collected from field trials. A particular focus is on determining gaps
in connectivity of the deployed network and generating a plan for repair, to
complete the connectivity. This project is the result of a collaboration
between three robotics labs (CSIRO, USC, and Dartmouth.)}
