An Ambient Robot System Based on Sensor Network: Concept and Contents of Ubiquitous Robotic Space

Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate the mobile robot application associated with ubiquitous sensor network. The sensor network systems embedded in environment make it for robots to more precisely navigate and localize itself and to more intellectually response to events occurred in the space where robots and environment are cooperated each other, what we called "ubiquitous robotic space". The ubiquitous robotic space consists of three conceptual spaces, physical, semantic, and virtual space. These spaces are seamlessly connected and provide more suitable information to robot and users. In experiments, we will show one of future application based on sensor network embedded in real-life environment.
