Study Notes

  • Butler robots use AI to manage homes.
  • They can raise children and do many other things.
  • 2017 marked the start of smart home robots becoming common.
  • Smart home robots like Alexa and Kuri assist users.

Home Automation (Domotics)

  • Domotics, or home automation, defines tech that automates private homes, providing comfort/security.
  • These techniques automate building tasks like climate and light control, and automatic doors and windows.
  • Domotics include multimedia, plant watering, pet feeding, and automated scenes.
  • Smart or intelligent homes relies on integrating devices for automated control using sensors/telecommunications.
  • These systems provide remote control and assistance.
  • Integrated homes use interfaces like buttons, remote controls, touchscreens, keyboards, voice recognition.
  • These interfaces communicate with a central computer or a distributed intelligence system.

Levels of Home Automation

  • Intelligent object homes feature stand-alone applications, such as a kitchen robot.
  • The kitchen robot has a database of recipes
  • Intelligent, communicating objects exchange info to boost functionality, e.g., sensors turn on lights at dark.
  • Connected homes have internal & external networks for interactive and remote control both inside/outside the home.
  • A central computer controls devices in the house in connected homes.
  • Learning homes can record activity to anticipate needs and automatically control tech, e.g., respond to snow.
  • Attentive homes constantly register activity and locations to anticipate occupants’ needs, like automatic lights.

Domotic System Architecture

  • Centralized systems have one main controller getting info from sensors and directing actuators.
  • Distributed systems spread intelligence among modules (sensors/actuators) connected by wires.
  • Mixed systems use decentralized setup with small devices processing sensor data and sharing it.
  • These devices transmit the data to the rest of the devices distributed by the house.
