“…For instance, a monitoring robot would greatly benefit from the ability to analyze its observations and discover patterns to adapt to its target person. With this motivation in our mind, we proposed several autonomous mobile robots which perform online clustering to discover useful patterns [13,14,15]. However, to construct such an application system with these mobile robots, we have to overcome the obstacles of developing, managing, and controlling various components.…”
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.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
