Popis: In this article, we develop a distributed robotic system that can provide various services in a real environment using ad-hoc networked active radio frequency identifications (RFIDs). These services are derived from a large amount of data acquired from sensors connected to active RFIDs. The primary advantage of this method is that it facilitates the construction of a real-environment monitoring system. Furthermore, a human's status and position can easily be identified by fitting active RFIDs to subjects. However, a security system is required for a radio ad-hoc network and a cooperation system between active RFIDs. In our research, we developed a multirobot cooperating system as a multiagent system and applied it to an active RFID, which has limited resources. We also developed a security system for active RFID communication that can be executed using limited resources. We then integrated the multiagent system and security system. We also constructed a robotic environment that can provide various services using active RFIDs and then evaluated it.
