Home Assistant-Based Collaborative Framework of Multi-Sensor Fusion for Social Robot

Abstract

Different smart products produced by various manufacturers work on dissimilar communication standards incompatible with one other. Such incompatibility renders communication of products challenging and serve as a severe hindrance to the development of the smart home industry. Considering the issue and advantage of the social robot, this research investigates a Home Assistant-based collaborative framework of multi-sensor fusion for the smart home social robot. We review the related work and briefly introduce the Home Assistant platform. Then, we detail the system design and its implementation. To check system performance, we designed two test cases with different scenarios. Finally, we detail the test results, which indicates that the system can fuse the multi-sensors and performs satisfactorily according to the designed control logic.
