Multiple-robot monitoring system based on a service-oriented DBMS

Abstract

In this paper, we present a human-targeted monitoring system composed of two autonomous mobile robots based on a service-oriented DBMS, mainly from the viewpoint of positioning control. Each robot is equipped with a Kinect and monitors the target human from appropriate angles and distances. The service-oriented DBMS, which manages the monitoring system and enables a rapid development and extension of the system, views each robot as a data source which generates a data stream to be stored and processed in the DBMS. The results of the experiments conducted in a real office are promising.
