Chapter Seven - Advance machine learning and artificial intelligence applications in service robot

Abstract

The process of controlling various operating equipment, machinery, etc., automatically can be termed as automation. This is an efficient method to use in every field to reduce manpower, energy usage, and also for improving the quality, accuracy, precision, and efficiency of any system. The home automation system helps in automating various aspects of life. The invention of advanced technologies and computing methodology helps in automating various activities in the home, often termed as a smart home. Through this automated process, the user can easily closely monitor various activities at home. The computing technologies like the Internet of Things, evolutionary algorithm, data science, and machine learning (ML) algorithms help to analyze, predict, and smartly monitor the home activities. The integration of ML and artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing day by day in managing a smart home. Home automation can help in managing energy consumption, intruder detection, fire detection, gas leakage, and any abnormal activities in and surrounding the home. For example, our home kitchens can be upgraded with the integration of AI and ML to improve the functioning of pantries, fridges, stoves, cooking, and energy efficiency. Smart fridges, cooking technology, and stoves are already emerging in the home automation industry. In this chapter, we have discussed various projects, uses, and applications of AI and ML techniques in various domains.
