Current situations and issues of intelligent spaces from viewpoints of CogInfoCom — iSpace for CogInfoCom

Intelligent Space (iSpace) is a space where many sensors and actuators are distributed. The ultimate goal of iSpace project is to accomplish an environment that comprehends human's intentions and satisfies them. To do this, it is necessary to get information of the humans and artificial objects in the space. Therefore, this paper focuses on the observation function of iSpace which. Our ongoing researches on observation in iSpace including novel sensing systems using electric and magnetic resonance coupling, human observation based on machine learning, intelligent assistant for mobile robots and interactive collaboration in the real-virtual simultaneously linked space are introduced. The observation in iSpace is mainly focusing on obtaining the cognitive information, combine it with other information and utilize the information for communication between the iSpace and user. Therefore, this paper is a brief introduction of iSpace for CogInfoCom.
