A Modular-based Miniature Mobile Robot for Pervasive Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasingly, innovations in miniaturization and embedded systems are making pervasive computing a reality. Meanwhile, similar advancements in robotics have made autonomous mobile robots easier to develop and more cost-efficient. However, since the field of ubiquitous robotics remains relatively unexplored, we develop SMARbot (Stevens Modular Autonomous Robot), as a tool to explore the pervasive capability of miniature robots. The SMARTBot was designed to be a highly modular, adaptable, inexpensive base model to integrate miniature mobile robots into the pervasive computing environment. The hardware and software architecture of the prototype are proposed. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the SMARbot in the real-world scenarios.

متن کاملA context-sensitive dynamic role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Resources and services are accessible in pervasive computing environments from anywhere and at any time. Also, due to ever-changing nature of such environments, the identity of users is unknown. However, users must be able to access the required resources based on their contexts. These and other similar complexities necessitate dynamic and context-aware access control models for such environmen...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
