Design and Implementation of a Smart Home Based on WSN and AMR

Abstract:

The purpose of the smart home application is to devise a set of intelligent home appliances that can provide an awareness of the users’ needs, providing them with a better home life experience without overpowering them with complex technologies and intuitive user interfaces. There are a large number of reseaches dealing with Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN) applications, but it is still possible to explored in WSN development and maintenance. The WSN paradigm has been stimulated by considering the integration of the WSN with sophisticated Autonomous Mobile Robots(AMR), having advanced mobility,processing and communication capabilities. The complementarities of the WSN and AMR technologies may result in a symbiotic coexistence with mutual advantages for both systems and may enable novel services in advanced scenarios,such as ubiquitous robotics,networked robotics,ambient intelligence. AMR can be considered to be mobile nodes that provide additional sensorial information, improve/repair the connectivity and collect information from wireless sensor nodes. On the other hand, the WSN can be considered as an extension of the sensorial capabilities of the robots and it can provide a smart environment for AMR. This paper examines the possibility of integration WSN and AMR into a smart home application.
