A smart home system can provide better services to assist users if it knows what user activities will occur beforehand. Early research in activity prediction has indicated that the result of prediction is unique, but the accuracy remains unsatisfactory if only one result is considered. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a method of leveraging multiple models. In this work, we use a Bayesian...
This paper presents a dialog system for the user in interacting with a smart home system. Instead of using just a voice control for appliances, a dialog system gives the user a more natural way of communication with the smart home. The dialog system can take different forms of instruction from the user and provides services to the user. The user can inquire the system about some information instead...
The interaction between pedestrians and vehicles is most critical when a pedestrian tries to walk across a street. The section for a pedestrian to walk across the street is a conflict region if a vehicle is approaching that area where traffic lights are needed in order to protect pedestrians and also allow a smooth traffic flow. This research uses a multiagent method to build a simulation system to...
The role of a service robot in a smart home can be considered as one of service providers. One difference is that this service provider can provide different services by its own and can also collaborate with others to provide different versions of services. Previous research in service provision concentrates what service devices can be integrated to introduce a new service. However, a service robot's...
A pedestrian warning system is often used in detecting the movements and intentions of a pedestrian and giving warnings to the relevant participants. Studies in pedestrian-vehicle conflicts have focused on modeling the behaviors concerning the participants, developing the sensors installed on the vehicle, giving warnings to the driver, etc. In this study, in addition to give the drivers warnings,...
The realization of a smart home relies on how to integrate consumer electronics for a good use. The communication technologies play an important role, but providing a timely and suitable service to users depends on understanding user request in a context. This article reports the definition of the context model for a smart home and how to reason on that model to provide suitable services. The prototype...
This research describes a dynamic role allocation and fast formation positioning method in the multi-agent robot soccer domain. The optimal role assignment is a well-known problem from operations research, and the problem-solving techniques include the simplex method and the Hungarian method. The goal of those methods is to calculate the running time of positioning and to minimize the sum of all costs...
For service robots to interact with the home environment, a flexible platform is needed. To enhance information appliances to make them intelligent appliances, research on integrating personal computers, information appliances and personal communication devices has emerged. Using intelligent software agents to solve the problem in smart environment can provide many benefits including quick response...
