“…In this research, we used Kukanchi Framework as the reference 3D space, shown in Figure 1. This framework was developed in our laboratory from 2007, focusing on sensing technology to construct environmental information using sensor networks and RT Middleware for integrating robots and sensors [10, 11, 12]. Significant work has been done to develop a user interface, system database and Middleware, as well as realizing the functional interaction between human and robot.…”

One important issue in robotic services is the construction of the robotic system in the actual environment. In other words, robots must perform environment sensing or have information on real objects, such as location and 3D dimensions, in order to live together with humans. It is crucial to have a mechanism to create an actual robotic system (intelligent space) such that there is no initialization framework for the objects in the environment, or we have to perform SLAM and object recognition as well as mapping to generate a useful environmental database. In intelligent space research, normally the objects are attached to various sensors in order to extract the necessary information. However, that approach will highly depend on sensor accuracy and the robotic system will be burdened if there are too many sensors in an environment. Therefore, in this paper we present a system in which a robot can obtain information about an object and even create the furniture layout map for an unknown environment. Our approach is intended to improve home-based robotic services by taking into account the user or individual preferences for the Intelligent Space (IS). With this information, we can create an informational map of the home-based environment for the realization of robot assistance of humans in their daily activities at home, especially for disabled people. The result shows the system design and development in our approach by using model-based system engineering.

In the robotics community, a great number of assistive robots for elderly and handicapped people have been developed in the past few decades. However, very few of them became commercially available. It is often claimed that the major problems for the commercialization of robotic technologies are the "cost" and the "safety." However we believe that the mismatch of "needs in daily lives" and "seeds in the technologies" is also a major problem. In this paper, we describe our novel ideas on the development of assistive robots which fit the real needs of users based on ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health), which is a part of the WHO Family of International Classifications for describing whole activities of a person in daily lives. By utilizing ICF, the development process of assistive robots - analyzing and discovering needs in daily lives, designing robots and evaluating the products - will be achieved in an objective manner.
