© 2016 IEEE. In recent years mobile robotic wireless sensor networks have been a popular choice for modelling spatial phenomena. This research is highly demanding and non-trivial due to challenges from both network and robotic aspects. In this paper, we address the spatial modelling of a physical phenomena with the network connectivity constraints while the mobile robots are striving to achieve the minimum modelling mismatch in terms of root mean square error (RMSE). We have resolved it through Gauss markov random field based approach which is a computationally efficient implementation of Gaussian processes. In this strategy, the Mobile Robotic Wireless Sensor Node (MRWSN) are centrally controlled to maintain the connectivity while minimizing the RMSE. Once the number of MRWSNs reach their maximum coverage, a new MRWSN is requested at the most informative location. The experimental results are convincing and they show the effectiveness of the algorithm.
