  Abstract
  Both Sensor networks and multi mobile robots have swarm features. The combination and cooperation of these two systems is a tendency recently. From the view of swarm organisms, the challenges of combination of sensor networks and multi mobile robots are discussed and a layered dual-swarm framework is presented, which has a 3D communication structure, and which is possible to organically inherit traditional swarm technology while build an efficient interaction channel for both swarms to cooperatively work together. Finally, a control strategy based on virtual entities is introduced to induce and control the behaviors of the robot swarm through wireless sensor networks.
