Smart home for security and low power consumption with common network modules based on RT middleware

抄録

The robot technology parts (RT parts) can be arranged on environment. The RT parts are controlled through the network. The concept of Ubiquitous Robotics is to support human life by RT parts on the environment. Smart home for secure and ecology has been built by corporative control of RT parts and common network on the national project "Open Innovation Promotion by Utilizing Basic Robotic Technology" in New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). In this paper, the concept of the smart home with distributed RT parts will be introduced. The smart home has two main functions. One is intelligent window. Another one is intelligent air condition system. The intelligent window works to guard a home and support human. The intelligent air condition system works temperature and humidity control in the home with low power consumption. In above functions, the common home network is important. In order to connect Any RT parts, the common network device was developed with RT middle ware architecture.
