Abstract. In this paper, we argue that a home-use autonomous mobile robot is a platform for a new kind of Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA). Recent advancement of hardware and software for robotics have enabled us to construct a small yet powerful, autonomous mobile robot from components in low cost. Such a robot is able to perform machine learning and data mining in the real world for a long period, which opens a new avenue for IDA. This paper improves and studies one of our monitoring robots in detail to reveal promising directions and challenges inherent in the new kind of IDA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
