The Landscape of Pervasive Computing StandardsDomestic Robots for Smart Space Interaction

The Landscape of Pervasive Computing Standards: Domestic Robots for Smart Space Interaction [In this chapter, we take a brief peek at the possible world of robotic companions—humans’ co-inhabitants of smart spaces. In such a world, robots are adopted as butlers in our homes, as baby watchers, as friends, and in general, as life companions. In this world, “Helen” lives with Kevin—a robotic companion. In the morning, Kevin checks Helen’s schedule and finds out she has an appointment with a neighbor to take a walk at 8:30 a.m. Kevin recognizes that it takes 30 minutes for her to prepare to go for a walk and wakes her up at 8:00 a.m. After she gets up, Kevin reminds Helen that she has an appointment at 8:30 a.m. While she gets dressed, Kevin lets her know that current weather is very cold and suggests that she wears thermal clothing. When she’s about to leave the house, Kevin says “good bye” to her and locks the door as she leaves. Kevin hasn’t gained wide acceptance. It’s not in every home or even in a tiny fraction of homes.

Abstract

[In this chapter, we take a brief peek at the possible world of robotic companions—humans’ co-inhabitants of smart spaces. In such a world, robots are adopted as butlers in our homes, as baby watchers, as friends, and in general, as life companions. In this world, “Helen” lives with Kevin—a robotic companion. In the morning, Kevin checks Helen’s schedule and finds out she has an appointment with a neighbor to take a walk at 8:30 a.m. Kevin recognizes that it takes 30 minutes for her to prepare to go for a walk and wakes her up at 8:00 a.m. After she gets up, Kevin reminds Helen that she has an appointment at 8:30 a.m. While she gets dressed, Kevin lets her know that current weather is very cold and suggests that she wears thermal clothing. When she’s about to leave the house, Kevin says “good bye” to her and locks the door as she leaves. Kevin hasn’t gained wide acceptance. It’s not in every home or even in a tiny fraction of homes. However, domestic robots are an impressive technology that is taking shape with several competing products already hitting the marketplace. It could soon be the “chief appliance” in our homes, or the “new interface technology” for smart spaces.]
