碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 機械工程系 === 99 === The application of robots has gradually expanded from the industry to general families. In which, the service-oriented home-style simulation robots are expected particularly to enter into the old-aged and less-child homes. Thus, this study chose the future smart home as the target to establish the rudiment of “e-Babysitter System”. In this study, the extension package of SPL added on the MSRDS (Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio) development platform has been used to simplify the complexities of robots simulation and then shorten the development time and real devices costs. The virtual environment has been setup in accordance with the well-know robot SPA (Sense-Plan-Act) paradigm and recommended seven-step design procedure. Our simulation environment for developing robots were summarized and modeled as UML diagrams to accurately describe the interaction details of the demonstration example of smart home prototype. The simulation robots in our virtual smart home environment possess the sensibilities of intelligence development, such as perception, cognition and actuation. By combining the online-monitoring cloud services with some built-in MSRDS simulation components, this system applies the RFID technology to store the sensed information services into the remote database. The demonstration scenario including the interaction between human beings and simulation robots is set up to present some core features of four simplified cloud services.
