Recent research has shown that utilizing mobile robot data collection from sensor nodes is one of the most critical schemes to prolong the network lifetime in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). By overcoming some limitations of traditional methods where sensing data is sent to a static data collection node through multiple routing paths, the mobile data collection robot-based approaches can completely avoid "hotspot" problem, energy-holes issues thereby balancing node energy consumption in the network. Consequently, many ideas and publications on improving network lifetime in WSNs by utilizing mobile data collection robot(s) have been proposed. However, there is little research that has studied the impact of mobile robot trajectory types on network lifetime improvement. Therefore, it becomes very interesting to investigate data collection process of mobile robots in wireless sensor network. In this paper, we proposed a geometric solution to find optimal trajectories of utilized mobile robots (MRs). Our proposed solution consists of four main stages. In the first stage, the number of cluster head nodes is estimated based on the network size and the density of sensor nodes in the WSN. The second stage involves estimating the spatial region that each mobile robot must cover to collect sensed data from all assigned sensor nodes. In the third stage, an optimal trajectory for each mobile robot is determined. In the fourth and final stage, the Network Control Center (NCC) proceeds to assign optimized trajectories to the remaining mobile robots until all cluster head nodes in the network have been visited. The proposed optimal trajectory for the mobile robot is designed not only to ensure timely collection of all sensed data in the field, but also to minimize the energy consumption of sensor nodes, thereby improving the overall network lifetime. A large number of numerical tests were carried out to evaluate the performance of our proposed algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm achieves a 5.4% improvement in network lifetime compared to other traditional algorithms. Nevertheless, the network lifetime improvement remains dependent on several assumptions made in this study. To address this limitation, the discussion section of the paper outlines potential directions for future work aimed at enhancing the practical applicability of the proposed solution.
