Abstract

Recent advances in network infrastructures, sensors, and IoT devices have accelerated the research and development of monitoring and interaction technologies designed for people, buildings, and environments. In particular, there has been an increasing demand for monitoring technologies for vulnerable people such as the infirm, disabled, and children. In this paper, we propose an efficient hospital room management system based on IoT care robots. The status of hospital rooms can be monitored and controlled more efficiently and intuitively by utilizing IoT devices and a cloud platform. We demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed system through the implementation of a prototype based on ARTIK IoT devices and the ARTIK Cloud platform. We found that the proposed system requires approximately 600 ms and 130 ms to collect sensor data and respond to alerts, respectively, which demonstrates it can operate in real-time.

네트워크 인프라 환경과 센서 및 IoT 디바이스 기술의 발전에 따라 사용자나 건물, 환경에 대한 모니터링 및 이에 따른 상호작용 기술에 대한 연구 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 사회적 약자인 노인, 장애인, 어린이들과 관련된 모니터링 기술에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 IoT 케어 로봇 기반의 효율적인 병실 관리 시스템을 제안한다. IoT 디바이스와 클라우드 기반 플랫폼을 활용함으로써 보다 효율적이고 직관적으로 병실의 상태를 확인하고 제어할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ARTIK 디바이스와 ARTIK Cloud 플랫폼 기반의 프로토타입 구현을 통하여 제안하는 시스템의 활용 가능성을 확인하였으며, 센서 정보 수집 및 경고 상황 대응에 각각 약 600ms와 130ms가 소요되어 제안하는 시스템이 실시간으로 동작 가능함을 확인하였다.
