Intelligent Space — concept and contents 论文

摘要

This paper describes our concept of Intelligent Space. Intelligent Spaces are rooms or areas that are equipped with sensors, which enable the spaces to perceive and understand what is happening in them. With such features, people or systems in the Intelligent Space can use additional functions that are afforded by the space. This research field itself is not particularly related to robotics, but we believe robots under Intelligent Spaces have many interesting features. Intelligent Spaces are expected to have a broad range of applications such as in homes, offices, factories, etc. Thus, we can consider that a robot, which will be used in our general living environment, is related to the concept of Intelligent Space. Several applications of Intelligent Space are shown in this paper with descriptions.
