Abstract

The lack of interoperability is one of most important problems in the smart home. As a consequence, the integration of heterogeneous devices into the same system is a very difficult task which usually requires ad hoc solutions. For this reason, different interoperability standards have been proposed during the last two decades. In this paper we use a novel interoperability protocol: Digital Home Compliant (DHC) which is focused on the solution of the interoperability problem between domotic and robotic devices. In particular, we have implemented the DHC-Groups module in a Roomba which allows a robot group (hive) to perform collaborative tasks. Finally, an experiment is shown in order to test the DHC-Groups module and show its possibilities.
