Distributed Intelligent Assistance Robotic System with Sensor Networks Based on Robot Technology Middleware

Abstract

This paper proposes a distributed intelligent assistant robotic system in order to improve the quality of the elderly people's life in the population aging society. The system is composed of embedded distributed sensor networks and multirobot intelligent platform. In the proposed system, we use SP 2 ATM (simultaneous path planning and topological mapping) with RBPF (Rao-Blackwellized particle filter) for path planning and localization of mobile robots. In order to perform service tasks, an accurate and reliable 3D environment map is reconstructed by using an effective 3D reconstruction technique from multiview stereo. Besides, the system provides user human tracking services based on multifeature mean shift under the double-layer locating mechanism. To improve the feasibility and reliability of the system, this proposed system is developed based on distributed control technology RTM (robot technology middleware). This paper presents the architecture of the proposed system and the experimental results verify effectiveness of the approaches.

Intelligent Control of Urban Lighting System Based on Video Image Processing Technology

“…Singapore, Switzerland and other countries related technical personnel first proposed to realize intelligent control of urban lighting based on computer technology. However, with the increasing expansion of the city and the diversified development of demand, this control strategy has been unable to meet the needs of the times [12][13]; relevant German scientific research institutions have developed intelligent street lamp control system based on bus control, which can realize the collection of street lamps However, this kind of street lamp control mode can not realize the intelligent urban lighting [14][15]; the relevant Japanese technical personnel developed the intelligent street lamp based on the HBS related protocol, which solved the intelligent lighting from the terminal, but it could not effectively match with the lighting system [16][17][18]. In terms of the construction of smart lighting system, France, as the first country to operate smart lighting system, uses power carrier technology and GPRS wireless communication technology to control the lighting equipment of each node in the city, and its corresponding lighting system reflects a certain degree of intelligence [19][20][21]; related countries in Eastern Europe adopt a large number of LED lighting technology in the design of smart city lighting system At the same time, solar panels, remote infrared cameras and wireless transmission technology are widely integrated into the corresponding lighting systems.…”
