Abstract :
Intelligent robot is a promising research topic for home healthcare, especially for the elderly home healthcare because it can provide the basic life needs via material assistance. However, until now, the design and implementation of an intelligent robot for home healthcare is still a very difficult problem unless we can solve the recognition system problem of a robot, which is usually extremely sensitive to the home environment. Thus, this paper presents an intelligent robot by using the positioner of robot itself and the IP camera system. The simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the accuracy rate of an automatic vehicle than the traditional robot system can provide.
