Abstract :
Structuring methods of ambient intelligence are becoming important issue in robotics field; such ambient intelligence can enable robots to adopt ubiquitous computing technologies by using GPS and the RFID tag, acquire the necessary information for working in offices and houses, and thereby work accordingly. There are two merits in putting information into an environment. Firstly, persons who develop each robot can minimize the installation of knowledge of the objects that the robot may use. The new knowledge of the objects are provided by the manufacturers of the object and the owners, designers, architects, or removers who structure the environment whenever the ambience changes. Secondly, in case of different robots, the same ambient intelligence can handle different kinds of robots. No one needs to customize each robot. Each robot is able to execute tasks using the common ambient intelligence.
