The traditional housekeeping robot has single function,
which is difficult in applying to family daily life. [1]This project has designed an intelligent housekeeping robot which is different from traditional housekeeping robots. It can perform remote real-time communications, home appliances control, indoor security monitoring and environmental monitoring functions. So the robot has the ability to play the “smart housekeeper" role in family life.
Key technologies of the robot include the conversion between WiFi signal and infrared signal, image transmission technology, gas detection technology, the Internet of Things technology and so on. The paper will introduce the overall design of the robot, including the design of robot crawler chassis, the design of motion control and home appliances control system, the design of security monitoring and environmental monitoring system. In this study, all systems
use the APP which integrates TI's Smartconfig technology, so the robot can easily add network and the mobile phone control the robot to move freely. The robot can also be the platform for subsequent research about Internet of Things robot.
