A Network of Stationary Sensors and Mobile Robots for Distributed Ambient Intelligence

Abstract

In the last decades, sensor networks have received significant attention in the field of Ambient Intelligence (AmI)for surveillance and assisted living applications, as they provide a powerful tool to capture relevant information aboutenvironments and people activities. Mobile robots hold the promise to enhance the potential of sensor networks, towards thedevelopment of intelligent systems that are able not only to detect events, but also to actively intervene on the environmentaccordingly. This paper presents a Distributed Ambient Intelligence Architecture (DAmIA) aiming at integrating multi-sensorrobotic platforms with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). It is based on the Robot Operating System (ROS), and providesa flexible and scalable software infrastructure extendible to different AmI scenarios. The paper describes the proposedarchitecture and presents experimental tests, showing the feasibility of the system in the context of Ambient Assisted Living(AAL).
