Ubiquitous robot is a term used in an analogous way toubiquitous computing. Software useful for "integrating robotic technologies with technologies from the fields of ubiquitous and pervasive computing,sensor networks, andambient intelligence".
The emergence of mobile phone,wearable computers and ubiquitous computing makes it likely that human beings will live in a ubiquitous world in which all devices are fully networked. The existence of ubiquitous space resulting from developments in computer and network technology will provide motivations to offer desired services by any IT device at any place and time through user interactions and seamless applications. This shift has hastened the ubiquitous revolution, which has further manifested itself in the new multidisciplinary research area, ubiquitous robotics. It initiates the third generation ofrobotics following the first generation of theindustrial robot and the second generation of thepersonal robot.
Ubiquitous robot (Ubibot) is a robot incorporating three components including virtual softwarerobot oravatar, real-world mobile robot and embedded sensor system in surroundings. Software robot within avirtual world can control a real-world robot as a brain and interact with human beings. Researchers ofKAIST, Korea describe these three components as a Sobot (Software robot), Mobot (Mobile robot), and Embot (Embedded robot).
