Smart-M3-based robot interaction in cyber-physical systems

Abstract

Nowadays cyber-physical systems are spreading wide all over the world. One of the examples of cyber-physical system is a “smart home” devices interaction for home cleaning. The paper presents the interaction process between several physical devices through the Smart-M3-based smart space. These devices are robots that are modelling the vacuum cleaner behavior. For this purpose, the scenario of robots interaction in smart space is described in the paper. For the scenario implementation, robots should be constructed and programmed. The paper provides short survey of the most powerful robotic kits and description of its programming possibilities. The Lego Mindstorms EV3 Education kit is chosen for scenario implementation. The LeJOS is installed on the control block to extend its functionality. This functionality includes connection to the Smart-M3-based smart space and Java support for programming robot actions.
