- The concept of Ecology of Physically Embedded Intelligent Systems, or PEIS-Ecology, combines insights from the fields of ubiquitous robotics and ambient intelligence to provide a new solution to building intelligent robots in the service of people. While this concept provides great potential, it also presents a number of new scientific challenges. The PEIS-Ecology project is an ongoing collaborative project between Swedish and Korean researchers which addresses these challenges. In this paper we introduce the concept of PEIS-Ecology, discuss its potential and its challenges, and present our current steps toward its realization. We also point to experimental results that show the viability of this concept.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We introduce the concept of Ecology of Physically Embedded Intelligent Systems, or PEIS-Ecology. This is a network of heterogeneous robotic devices (PEIS) pervasively embedded in the environment. A PEIS can be as simple as a toaster and as complex as a humanoid robot. PEIS can exchange information at different levels of abstraction, and share both physical and virtual functionalities to perform complex tasks. By putting together insights from the fields of autonomous robotics and of ambient intelligence, the PEIS-Ecology approach explores a new road to building assistive, personal, and service robots. In this paper, we discuss this concept, describe a first realization of it, and show an implemented use-case scenario.

The PEIS kernel : a middleware for ubiquitous robotics
- 2007
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The fields of autonomous robotics and ambient intelligence are converging toward the vision of smart robotic environments, or ubiquitous robotics, in which tasks are performed via the cooperation of many simple networked robotic devices. The concept of Ecology of Physically Embedded Intelligent Systems, or PEIS-Ecology, combines insights from these fields to provide a new solution to building intelligent robots in the service of people. To enable this vision, we need a common communication and cooperation model that allows dynamically assembled ad hoc networks of robotic devices, a flexible introspection and configuration model allowing automatic (re)configuration and that can be shared between robotic devices at different scales, ranging from standard mobile robots to tiny networked embedded devices. In this paper we discuss the development of a middleware suitable for ubiquitous robotics in general and P PEIS -Ecologies in specific. Our middleware is suitable for building truly ubiquitous robotics applications, in which devices of very different scales and capabilities can cooperate in a uniform way. We discuss the principles and implementation of our middleware, and also point to experimental results that show the viability of this concept.

- The vision of an Ecology of Physically Embedded Intelligent Systems, or PEIS-Ecology, combines insights from the fields of autonomous robotics and ambient intelligence to provide a new approach to building robotic systems in the service of people. In this paper, we present this vision, and we report the results of a four-year collaborative research project between Sweden and Korea aimed at the concrete realization of this vision. We focus in particular on three results: a robotic middleware able to cope with highly heterogeneous systems; a technique for autonomous self-configuration and re-configuration; and a study of the problem of sharing information of both physical and digital nature.

Using Javaspace for a PEIS ecology

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ecology of Physically Embedded Intelligent Systems (PEIS) is a new multirobotic framework conceived by integrating insights from the fields of autonomous robotics and ambient intelligence. A PEIS-Ecology is a network of intelligent robotic devices that can provide the user with assistance, information, communication, and entertainment services. In this paper we introduce the concept of PEIS Ecology, and we investigate about the use of JAVASPACE to build a middleware infrastructure that meets its special requirements. At the end, we illustrate a concrete realization of a PEIS-Ecology we implemented using JAVASPACE as a communication middleware.
