In the future, autonomous mobile robots would provide services in human's daily life. In the long run, these robots should be acting in the normal private or working environments of humans. Autonomy is one important aspect in the design of such robots because the robots should be able to act reasonably in changing environments. Robot control architectures based on local reactive behaviors have been established for supporting autonomy of mobile robots and have been successfully applied in laboratory and edutainment environments. When being used in human's private or working environments, safety (e.g. strict collision avoidance) and target-orientation are further major requirements on a mobile robot. Target-orientation means that the robot should, besides reacting on its immediate local environment, also be able to pursue long term targets such as reaching a certain destination. The work reported in this paper investigates the use of a behavior-based architecture on a mobile robot for making the robot applicable in a normal office environment. Complex behaviors for acting in this environment are being developed and are combined in a target-oriented way, thus overcoming the limitations of pure local reactivity. Experiments show the feasibility of the approach.

Recently, the advancement of the development technologies for the smart sensor nodes that are small, low-power devices with abilities of environment sensing, data computing and wireless communication facilitates research for the wireless sensor network. Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networks composed of such sensor nodes that have abilities to monitor and control the physical environment from the remote locations. Such networks make many applications possible in the scientific, medical, commercial, and military domains, for example, surveillance, smart home and offices, environment monitoring, and many others. We present wireless sensor network architecture. It's basic operations, sensor ID assignment scheme and ID creation algorithm, and mobility protocol for the management of the sensor or relay nodes movement. We also suggest a power management scheme of our wireless sensor network architecture.

The high-reliable object-oriented embedded software design project is an industry-university joint research project and has been launched in 2003 as a part of e-society project, supported by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan. The target of this five-year project is to develop the method and environment for high-reliable embedded software development for civilian industry such as automobile, communication, and control and consumer-electronics fields. The challenge of the project is to establish the practical usage of the latest achievement of software science and software engineering at the reasonable cost for actual development practice. In this paper, we introduce the approach, vision and plan of the project.
