摘要：Increasingly, innovations in miniaturization and embedded systems are making pervasive computing a reality. Meanwhile, similar advancements in robotics have made autonomous mobile robots easier to develop and more cost-efficient. However, since the field of ubiquitous robotics remains relatively unexplored, we develop SMARbot (Stevens Modular Autonomous Robot), as a tool to explore the pervasive capability of miniature robots. The SMARTBot was designed to be a highly modular, adaptable, inexpensive base model to integrate miniature mobile robots into the pervasive computing environment. The hardware and software architecture of the prototype are proposed. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the SMARbot in the real-world scenarios
