New approach using an IoT robot to oversightthe smart home environment

Abstract

Smart environment needs a lot of sensors in different places. The cost of these sensors is expensive, and to reduce this cost we proposed a mobile robot. This robot carries a range of different sensors that will sense the surrounding environment and send data to the objects in the environment. Since our robot consist of a set of sensors, this can eliminate the possibility of using a huge number of sensor and placing those senssors on all the environment. The process of communication between the robot and the objects in the environment through the MQTT protocol. The IoT Things can control the robot directly through orders received by the robot.
