N2 - The collaboration of monitoring robot and UFAM (Ubiquitous Functions Activate Module) is proposed to achieve automated, wide-range applicable, precise, speedy, and costlow monitoring and inspection systems. With the advancement of RFID technology, robots are capable of obtaining more intelligence and more flexibility. We have already proposed the idea of the collaboration between mobile robot and intelligent tag in order to sense and monitor target facilities, systems, and environments more accurately and broadly. In this paper, as a intelligent tag, we employ UFAM developed by AIST (Advanced Industrial Science and Technology). UFAM is a module which provides wirless communication and control function to instruments existing in a great variety of environment. The UFAM has sensors, communication, and ID functions. We have two types of UFAM, with thermometer and accelerometer sensors. Mobile robots provide for a wide range and flexible monitoring for various situations by its mobility. By the characteristics of UFAM and the mobile robot, each monitoring error can be checked. The experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed collaborative monitoring system.
