在本文中，SMARBOT被设计为高度模块化，适应性，廉价的微型移动机器人范式，可以轻松地集成到无处不在的计算环境中。提出了SMARBOT的通用多层体系结构，其中硬件和软件都是可重构的，可以用低功率和低成本消耗。提出了一些初步的实验结果，包括避免障碍物，无线通信和视力跟踪。还讨论了一些未来的硬件改进。这种通用的移动机器人范式可以应用于各种普遍存在的环境，例如智能办公/家庭或监视系统。
In this paper, a SMARbot is designed to be a highly modular, adaptable, inexpensive miniature mobile robot paradigm which can be easily integrated into its ubiquitous computing environment. A generic multi-layer architecture of the SMARbot is proposed, where both hardware and software are reconfigurable, expendable with low-power and low-cost. Some preliminary experimental results are presented, including obstacle avoidance, wireless communication, and vision tracking. Some future hardware improvements are also discussed. This generic mobile robot paradigm can be applied to various ubiquitous environments, such as smart office/home, or surveillance systems.
