Abstract

This study describes a system that allows robots to manage environmental conditions. The proposed system consists of a database center and various autonomous robots, each with different functions. The robots’ functionality differs in mobility due to differences in their locomotion mechanisms, and information acquisition capability, which is defined by the sensors they are equipped with, correspondent ability to an incident, and so on. This study describes the overall concept and some important features of the proposed system. In addition, we propose a position estimation method and explain the experiments conducted to evaluate it. Future tasks are also mentioned.
