Design-to-Robotic-Operation: Design and Integration of a Meshed and Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network into Cyber-physical Spaces
DESCRIPTION
Objectives, scope, contribution, and expected outcomes or skills acquired by the participants
The principal objective of the proposed workshop is to teach participants to design and to integrate a fully functional Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN) into a Cyber-physical Space. WSANs lie at the core of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) [1], which represent State-ofthe-Art enablers of both Architectural and Computational Intelligence in the built-environment. Strategies and methods pertaining to Design-to-Robotic-Operation (D2RO) [2–11]—an emerging computational intelligence in the built-environment paradigm developed at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) [10–12]—are used to develop this WSAN in an open, scalable, and decentralized manner.
D2RO subsumes capabilities and motivations typical expressed via Ambient Intelligence (AmI) [13] / Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) [14], which are research fields situated at the intersection of the Engineerings (viz., Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronic, and Information Systems), Architecture, and Medical Sciences. Accordingly, an inherited motivation behind D2RO is to develop built-environments where systems and services expressed in terms of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) promote and sustain the general well-being, qualitative spatial experience of the inhabited space, and the comfort of the occupant(s).
In this workshop, participants will acquire the skills necessary to develop and to implement WSANs that build on or are informed by notable pioneering projects in the field of intelligence in the built-environment such as RoboticRoom [20], Wabot-House [21], The Aware Home [22], The Center for Advanced Studies in Adaptive Systems [23], PlaceLab [24]; Living Independently in Südtirol Alto [25], and the presently on-going Responsive Engagement of the Elderly promoting Activity and Customized Healthcare project [26], funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 scheme.
