Intelligent Robot monitoring Service Robot Status Data

PDF

Users of intelligent robots require access to the status data of the robots for various reasons. The status data of intelligent robots can be generated by combining the status data of the functional agents that constitute the intelligent robot. However, existing intelligent robot systems do not generate the necessary agent status data for creating the status data of intelligent service robots, or they generate it in different ways, making it impossible to collect this information in a uniform manner. Furthermore, these systems have limitations such as collecting the same information redundantly if multiple users request it and only using a single method of communication to deliver robot information, thereby failing to offer the communication methods desired by users. This paper proposes a multi-agent monitoring system for intelligent service robots designed to overcome these limitations. This monitoring system generates status data in response to the actions performed by functional agents, thereby allowing for the unified generation and collection of agent status data. Additionally, the monitoring system resolves data redundancy issues by collecting the necessary data just once, in accordance with user monitoring demands, and delivers status data through a proxy that supports the preferred communication methods of users, thereby providing compatibility with various communication methods. Through experiments, we have verified that this monitoring system can deliver the status data of intelligent robots to multiple users using various communication methods.
