The goal of this work is to develop a new autonomous capability for remotely deploying precisely located sensor nodes without damaging the sensor nodes in the process.  Over the course of the last decade there has been significant interest in research to deploy sensor networks.  This research is driven by the fact that the costs associated with installing sensor networks can be very high.  In order to rapidly deploy sensor networks consisting of large numbers of sensor nodes, alternative techniques must be developed to place the sensor nodes in the field.
