Hybrid control architecture of the robotic surveillance system using smartphones

摘要

This paper presents the hybrid control of an intelligent surveillance system that enables a smartphone user to surveil or monitor home invaders, old/sick persons or little children remotely via a mobile home robot combined with his/her smartphone. In view of the mobile robot's limited cognitive and computational abilities, the surveillance system is designed to control the robot in a user-robot collaborative manner rather than rely on the robot's fully autonomous control.
