Abstract

In the latest advances in network sensor technology and state-of-the-art mobile robots, artificial intelligence research can be employed to develop autonomous and distributed monitoring systems. “Intelligent Space” is a platform on which we can easily implement advanced technologies to realize smart services for humans. We have developed and reported a vision system based on color information, a hand-over scheme networking multicameras, a human-following mobile robot system, a path generator based on human-watching, etc. Here, I will summarize the present state of intelligent space, and try to describe the future from the viewpoint of system integration. We are now introducing RT (robot technology) to develop intelligent-space as an actual standard platform which could be approved by the robotics community. I will discuss how to use RT in our intelligent space, and show our new results.
