With this rapid growth of the Internet, technologies have also evolved, in such a way that a computer, something that previously was big and usually placed on a desk, is now so small that we can put it in our pockets, such as smartphones, tablets or simple smart wrist watches. With the use of these devices it is now possible to communicate and control a large set of appliances in a house, car, office and other places. With the communication of these small devices and appliances, the number of systems that automate and assist in the daily tasks has grown like opening doors, and windows, turning on the lights and music, checking the groceries list, checking appointments book and a lot of other tasks. Last year, these systems have focused not only in the general public but in specific niches of the population like blind people, old people and people with some kind of disability, acting like some kind of virtual butlers in their daily lives. In this work it was implemented a virtual butler based on mobile agents capable of speech recognition and speech synthesizing, by using a local network in the controlled environment of a house, as a case study to evaluate to what extent the mobile agents can be used to help people in their daily tasks. The work developed shows that it is possible to integrate mobile agents with other software and manage the addition and removal of features as needed, and provide a good interaction between the user and the agent. In short, mobile agents concept works and could be very useful when used to solve specific problems, and with the actual knowledge and infrastructures, with some work this concept could be reignited and great and useful solutions accomplished mainly in smart environments.Instituto Politécnico de LeiriaIC-OnlineBranco, Rui2015-07-10T10:55:10Z20152015-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.8/1390TID:201877589porinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-17T15:42:58Zoai:iconline.ipleiria.pt:10400.8/1390Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:46:02.388054Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
