N2 - Mobile robots are an area of active research with enormous, untapped potential for the future - for household use, for applications in industry and production, for elderly care, in hospitals as well as in a host of other fields. In order to realise the possibilities that future robots hold, there are a number of obstacles to be overcome before mass markets can evolve in these individual segments. This paper discusses the main challenges related to the adoption of wireless robotics and gives a comprehensive overview of the suitability of existing wireless technologies, while arguing the need for standardization in this rapidly advancing area.
