Abstract

In this paper, we developed mobile robot platform called Ecobot for the application system of friendly environment smart home appliance. Ecobot fulfills the purposes of monitoring of the healthy environment and guidance in the application system of friendly smart environment home appliance, home network formed by Zigbee network. For the healthy environment, the system contains monitoring sensor. Moreover, it continuously keeps the healthy environment by controlling the smart home appliances linkng with Zigbee network. And also using the URG-04LX laser distance sensor, it monitors indoor environment through autonomous moving and collision avoidance.

본 논문에서는 친환경 스마트가전 응용시스템을 위한 모바일 로봇 플랫폼인 Ecobot을 개발하였다. Ecobot은 Zigbee 네트워크로 홈 네트워크를 구성한 친환경 스마트 가전 응용시스템에서 쾌적 환경 감시 및 안내의 역할을 수행한다. 쾌적 환경을 위해 환경 감시 센서가 탑재되어 있으며, Zigbee 네트워크를 통해 스마트 가전기기와 연동하여 스마트 가전기기를 제어하여 쾌적 환경을 유지시킨다. 또한 URG-04LX 레이저 거리 센서를 이용하여 자율주행 및 충돌 회피를 통해 실내 환경을 감시하게 된다.
