Resumo


This work presents a prototype using a Multi-Agent System for managing a smart bathroom model that will help in the economy of natural resources (electrical energy and water) using perceptual information from sensors and low-cost controllers. The MAS was developed using Jason framework and ARGO agents and the bathroom uses an ATMEGA328 controller and several sensors. The prototype is able of controlling certain available functions such as shower, discharge or sink for water resources and it chooses between commercial and renewable energy. Besides, there is an emergency system for helping people inside the bathroom. Some performance tests were executed to explore the use of robotic agents programmed with Jason and ARGO.
