    Recently there has been a great deal of research on using mobility in sensor networks to assist their sensing tasks. In this paper, we propose a policy-based session control protocol for Multi-Robot Sensor Networks (MRSNs) called Billiards. In a MRSN, all messages are transported by the physical motion of participants (mobile nodes) in the network. When a large volume of data or continuous data is required to be transferred, there exists a problem determining how the data is fragmented and how the mobile nodes are formed for carrying the data to the destination. To overcome the issues, we propose a suitable method of session control which is determined based on a state of surrounding mobile nodes such as number, maximum-velocity and buffer-size. Billiards also takes a system policy of delay minimization into consideration. In this paper, we describe the protocol and model of Billiards and analyze the model. We evaluated the performance of Billiards utilizing mobile robots which are equipped with MICA2 mote and comparing with non optimized method. The experimental results demonstrate that Billiards achieves less delay than non optimized method at every velocity and buffer-size of each robot.
