An Intelligent Agent for a Vacuum Cleaner

摘要

This paper introduces an Intelligent agent for the vacuum cleaner named as VROBO. Objectives of this work are to prepare a pedagogical device for Artificial Intelligence students and to practically implement the Artificial Intelligent Technology in real world problems to enhance the physical capabilities of human being. Most of the significant Intelligent Agent’s attributes like; Goals, Perception, Autonomy and Action, may be found in this agent. Two options are given for the implementation of proposed setup i.e. Screen oriented simulation developed in java and Java API for “real” robotic simulation using LEGO Mindstorms robots developed by Frank and Scott. Home location is represented by blue color, while yellow color is used to represent dirt. When robot sees dirt it emits beep. This Intelligent Agent is just like a prototype system and conceptual in nature, which can be extended for enhancements to be implemented physically.
