2A1-B21 Interface Robot to Connect Legacy Home Appliances with Network

Abstract

This research proposes home appliance service that network robots provide. Recently, most of home appliances aren't network-reachable. Our home robot can approach a home appliance and control it. The robot notifies other robots how to control home appliances, so that others can use home appliance service via network. We make Interface Robot to connect legacy home appliances with network based on this idea and evaluate it.
