Software Robot in a PDA for Human Interaction and Seamless Service

In this paper, a new architecture is proposed for the efficient human interaction with software robot (Sobot) in a PDA and the Sobot transmission between PDAs. Sobot can move to any mobile device through a wireless communication network. This ability is required to follow its user by moving itself to a device in his/her new location. Sobot as an artificial creature, has genetic code which is a set of computerized codes representing the personality. It has an internal state which consists of motivation, homeostasis, and emotion. The data set of genetic code and current internal state are transmitted through the network when it moves to the other device. A main server manages IP addresses of registered devices, Sobot's data set, and Sobot's location for the transmission. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, Sobot is implemented in windows mobile environment of PDA such that it can interact with a human being and move to the other mobile device without spatial limitation.
