Abstract

Nowadays, surveillance systems are less dependent of humans’ interactions, mostly in event’s detection. However, there still are tasks to be performed by humans that could be delegated to autonomous robots. The integration of an autonomous service robot, as an agent, in a multi-agent surveillance system can reduce even more humans’ dependency. This paper proposes a new architecture and a communication protocol that integrates ServRobot’s autonomous robot into DVA’s surveillance system. This integration allows the DVA’s system to use the robot as a mobile unit for validation of triggered events, to perform surveillance missions and to gather sensors information.
