Abstract

An integrated network of mobile robots, personal smart devices, and smart spaces called “Robots-Assisted Ambient Intelligence” (RAmI) can provide for a more effective user assistance than if the former resources are used individually. Additionally, with the application of distributed network optimization, not only can we improve the assistance of an individual user, but we can also minimize conflict or congestion created when multiple users in large installations use the limited resources of RAmI that are spatially and temporally constrained. The emphasis of RAmI is on the efficiency and effectiveness of multiple and simultaneous user assistance and on the influence of an individual’s actions on the desired system’s performance. In this paper, we model RAmI as a multi-agent system with AmI, user, and robot agents. Moreover, we propose a modular three-layer architecture for each robot agent and discuss its application and communication requirements to facilitate efficient usage of limited RAmI resources. Our approach is showcased by means of a case study where we focus on meal and medicine delivery to patients in large hospitals.
