Service media using robotic technology in ubiquitous computing environment

RT (robot technology) is expected to magnify the IT industry, which is characterized by the real time operation in the physical environment. Especially, integration of RT with ubiquitous computation technology makes a big impact on service industry. In this presentation, a concept of service media for ubiquitous service RT in the context of service engineering is introduced, which provides users with various services in a ubiquitous computing environment. Examples of ubiquitous RT devices called intelligent data carrier, and their application to user adaptive systems, rescue systems, and security systems are introduced.
