Abstract:
Robot companions are being developed to assist
humans in domestic environments. This paper proposes an
intelligent robot companion which is capable of adapting the
ambient conditions of a smart home environment in accordance
to the user behavior. The user behavior identification is facilitated
by an artificial neural network that has been trained to detect the
different postures of humans such as sitting and standing. Based
on the identified user behavior, the robot controls smart devices
available in the home to realize the adaptation of ambient
conditions. The smart devices and the companion robot connect
over a wireless network. Furthermore, voice interaction
capabilities have also been incorporated to the robot companion
to facilitate voice interaction based controlling of ambient
conditions. A prototype of the system has been developed and the
capabilities of the system have been validated experimentally.
