Development of Mobile Module Ver.5.2 in reconfigurable intelligent space*

In recent years, technology in the IoT field has been actively researched, and our lives have become more convenient. Among them, The Reconfigurable Intelligent Space (R+iSpace). In the R+iSpace has been proposed, all the devices in the environment can be relocated according to the current situation. Therefore, a mobile module called MoMo that can move on the walls and ceilings is utilized in the R + iSpace. However, since prototypes that have been developed have problems such as low moving speed, we need to newly devise a mechanism to solve it. This time, we developed a mechanism using protruding objects and rail. As the result, we achieved measuring the moving speed and stability of the new prototype and, also comparing it with the previous prototypes, and showed the superiority of the newly devised MoMo.
