Robotic Furniture in a Smart Environment: The PEIS Table
نویسندگان
چکیده
According to a recent trend, robotic technologies will be included into domestic environments in the form of simple, networked robotic devices able to cooperate in the performance of tasks. These devices may take the form of smart appliances, distributed sensors, or robotic furniture. In this paper, we describe the design of an autonomous robotic table and its inclusion in a smart environment, the PEIS Ecology. The design takes into account the constraints posed by the domestic environment. The robotic table can perform autonomous point-to-point navigation, and it can collaborate with the other devices in the ecology to perform complex tasks that go beyond simple navigation.

The PEIS Table: An Autonomous Robotic Table for Domestic Environments
There are two main trends in the area of home and service robotics. The classical one aims at the development of a single skilled servant robot, able to perform complex tasks in a passive environment. The second, more recent trend aims at the achievement of complex tasks through the cooperation of a network of simpler robotic devices pervasively embedded in the domestic environment. This paper ...

Autonomous robotic devices are vital to the peformance of space mission. These range from smart servo-controlled devices (e.g., an antenna or a camera) to autonomous mobile robots (e.g., planetary rovers) to future interactive astronaut assistants. Each robotic device operates in its specific environment, which is usually not fully predictable and not fully observable, and which may include hum...

The architecture builds upon a temporal reasoning framework operating in closed-loop between physical sensing and actuation compone...
متن کاملAn On-Going Evaluation of Domestic Robots
In this position paper we describe an on-going effort to provide an in-depth and cross-cultural evaluation of how elderly users perceive robotic systems for domestic cognitive support. Our work is grounded on two implemented smarthome prototypes, namely the RoboCare Smart Home developed in Italy, and the PEIS Home developed in Sweden. The former project has provided a testbed for an aposteriori...
