Monitoring Indoor Environments Using Intelligent Mobile Sensors

چکیده
Mobile robots offering services like transportation tasks enter various areas of our daily work-life. In this paper we present a concept for monitoring indoor environments using intelligent mobile robots. The basic components in this concept are the autonomously or semiautonomously acting mobile robots, which should unburden the staff in their everyday duties. The paper describes both the system architecture based on the Blackboard concept, and the structure of the individual modules (agents). As an example we describe a world-modeling agent, a pathplanning agent, and a navigation agent. Moreover, a humanlike and easy to use 3D-user-interface to control the robots is presented.

Indoor air quality monitoring in urban areas using Smart Sensing Technology
Recently, indoor air quality has attracted the attention of policymakers and researchers as a critical issue like that of external air pollution. Indoor air quality is more important as people spend time longer indoors than outdoors. Indoor environments are closed compared to external environments providing less opportunity for the pollutants to dilute. The emissions contain many substances tha...
متن کاملApplication of ultrasonic sensors in a smart environment
A key application of sensor networks in smart environments is in monitoring activities of people. We develop several scenarios in which ultrasonic sensors are used for patient and elderly monitoring. In each scenario, we apply different algorithms for data fusion and sensor selection using quality-based or time division approaches. We have devised trajectory-matching algorithms to classify traj...
متن کاملBehavior-based Intelligent Robot In Dynamic Indoor Environments
We present a navigation system using multiple sensors for unknown and dynamic indoor environments. To achieve the robustness and flexibility of the mobile robot, we propose a new behavior-based architecture with three groups of clustered (reflexive, purposive, and adaptive) agents that realizes both efficiency in attaining the mission of the robot and robustness against the various kinds or fai...
