Pervasive Security Intelligence with Smart Home Robotics Guard for Personal and Property Environments

With the ever increasing security demand from a broad range of demographics that need close monitoring beyond the geographic distance barrier, such as senior people, patients, and those who have high tendencies to have medical emergencies, like stroke, seizure, heart attack etc., the requires of an efficient and economical solution is highly desirable. This type of pervasive security demand also has extended to the properties, such as the needs of monitoring & protection of a household that has a living location, and even the extensions of a fixed location, like a family vehicle. This paper presents the design of a comprehensive personal & home security tele-robotics guard system to provide pervasive security intelligence for personal and property protection. It is able to keep the owner informed in real-time with the latest tele-control & video communication technology. Our team has designed and developed three different functional prototypes to evaluate the design, and has deployed the latest prototype in a senior house facility in Houston, Texas in United States for the extensive testing, eliciting real-life data and further requirements. The preliminary experiment shows a promising result.
