Compact Autonomous Multipurpose IoT BOT

Abstract

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) is widely used in interconnection of physical and other embedded devices, which enables the objects to exchange data. Robotics is the technology which is used to carry out complex series of actions either automatically or command based, guided by an embedded system within it. The proposed work is an integration of IoT with robotics for home automation. First, when the user enters into the house, robot captures the image of the user which is then used for the facial recognition. Facial recognition process utilizes global and random local feature extraction method to authenticate the user. On successful identification, automatic mode in the robot enables the robot to operation in living room without human intervention. Further, the smart phone app provided will enable the user to guide the robot into other areas of the house to execute multiple operations. The data is transferred to the server using messaging protocol as gateway which is then processed and executed. The interaction between robot and devices is carried out by Bluetooth communication. Further, the robot fetches data from the household stock and notifies user about the quantity present in it. Functionality of this robot is not only limited to the above tasks and can be upgraded for other simplified home automation.
