機器人的應用逐漸由工業擴大至家庭，以服務為導向的居家型仿真機器人更受大眾喜愛。因此，本研究以未來的智慧家庭為標的，建置「e保姆系統」雛形。
本研究以建置於MSRDS開發平台的簡單程式語言(SPL)延伸套件為載具，以模擬的方式減少不必要的花費，提高生產力。虛擬環境以機器人典範的設計步驟為基礎，歸納出開發機器人模擬環境的七大設計步驟，藉UML塑模圖表精確地描述系統的互動與狀態。
本系統結合可線上監控的雲端服務、虛擬環境技術與智慧家庭的概念，運用無線射頻識別(RFID)技術，將感應資訊服務存入遠端資料庫。虛擬環境中的仿真機器人具「知」、「能」與「行」等感知能力的智慧開發。依展示情境製作互動的虛擬環境，包含人與仿真機器人的互動、人與系統的互動及人與人的互動，並賦予雲端代理人的四大服務達成情境之展示。

The application of robots has gradually expanded from the industry to general families. In which, the service-oriented home-style simulation robots are expected particularly to enter into the old-aged and less-child homes. Thus, this study chose the future smart home as the target to establish the rudiment of “e-Babysitter System”.
In this study, the extension package of SPL added on the MSRDS (Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio) development platform has been used to simplify the complexities of robots simulation and then shorten the development time and real devices costs. The virtual environment has been setup in accordance with the well-know robot SPA (Sense-Plan-Act) paradigm and recommended seven-step design procedure. Our simulation environment for developing robots were summarized and modeled as UML diagrams to accurately describe the interaction details of the demonstration example of smart home prototype.
The simulation robots in our virtual smart home environment possess the sensibilities of intelligence development, such as perception, cognition and actuation. By combining the online-monitoring cloud services with some built-in MSRDS simulation components, this system applies the RFID technology to store the sensed information services into the remote database. The demonstration scenario including the interaction between human beings and simulation robots is set up to present some core features of four simplified cloud services.
