機器人研究一直以來是個熱門但封閉的領域，各家研究單位埋首於客製自我設備之性能與規格，彼此間無法共享研究成果。而新科技的來臨總是飛快，往往研究稍有突破之時，便會被迫修改模組組合建構新技術，反覆重構系統架構下，機器人開發也因此遠較於一般消費型電子來的緩慢。 隨著近幾年行動網路的發展，智慧型手機已成為人人生活必備的必需品。舉凡在公車，捷運、公園甚至用餐場所，都可看到人們透過行動網路瀏覽著網路各式資源或低頭把玩著手上應用軟體。如此行為已成為現代人普遍生活模式。透過此行為的演進與人們生活的改變，可觀察出智慧型手機的效率與行動網路速度早已大幅超越先前瓶頸，逐漸滿足普遍大眾的期望。 本論文提出以Android作為底層平台之機器人架構，實際開發一保全機器人，能自動巡邏於空間中偵測人臉與音量異常，並在結合HSDPA行動網路下，可進行遠端保全的監控與機器人控制。系統使用智慧手機做為控制中心與操作設備，並結合藍芽自走車，為一具備高彈性與低成本的機器人架構。在功能模組需要提升之時，也能透過公開市場上Android設備的更換，避免掉重製機器人模組所需的研究耗費。The Robotics research has been a popular but closed research topic in the past. Each research group focuses on its own customized functionalities and specifications. It is difficult for different research groups to share their research work. Additionally, the new technology always changes so quickly so engineers are forced to redesign and modify original modules which are still under development. Due to this unhealthy construction cycle, the progress of robotics development is not as fast as the progress of consumer’s appliances. With the development of mobile networks, smart phones have become essential necessities in daily life. In buses, rapid transit systems, parks, and even restaurants, one can see people using the mobile network to brows websites or play various application software. This pattern of behaviors has become one of the modern lifecycles. The evolution of this phenomenon rapidly changes people’s life styles. One may easily observe that the efficiency of smart phones and mobile network quickly get beyond previous limitations in technologies and has gradually met the expectations of the masses. This paper proposes an Android-based security monitoring robot platform and implement a security monitoring robot with Bluetooth units. The security monitoring robot can autonomously navigate in a certain environment and has the functionalities of face detection and exceptional sound detection. Under the HSDPA mobile network, users can tele-monitor and tele-control the robot. The whole platform offers a flexible and low-cost approach to implement a security monitoring robot system. In addition, it allows us to be able to quickly upgrade an Android module of the robot platform to avoid unnecessary technology development costs during a module upgrade period.
