The Service Design of Intelligent Robot (iRobot) for Entertainment

This research tries to use IT-enabled service to create an intelligent robot for entertainment from service aspect and it also implements a real scenario of kart racer by using LEGO NXT. First, this research uses service perspective to analyze what kind of services will be needed and then this research tries to use a service blueprint to illustrate the services of intelligent robot (iRobot). The hardware of iRobot is developed by LEGO Corporation, in order to apply these service theories into a real environment, this research uses a kart racer example to implement irobots for racing. The irobot is invented by Lego and it is also called Mindstorms NXT. NXT is a programmable robotic kit that is released by LEGO and this research uses it to complete a real scenario. Secondly, irobot combines several technologies and multi-agents systems (MAS) such as remote control techniques, bluetooth agent, intelligent environmental detection agent, and other agents. iRobot tries to increases more fun in its example and it also uses the example to validate the design with service perspective.
