Various computing paradigms such as ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, and ubiquitous virtual reality have appeared. Now we should consider interaction between human and robots in ubiquitous virtual reality known as DigiLog space. In this paper, we propose intelligent machine space for human robot interaction in DigiLog space. For the human robot interaction in DigiLog space, a robot has to recognize the current situation and select proper behavior by itself. It has to receive information and context from DigiLog space and transfer current state of robot itself bidirectional way. Moreover, the robot has to accept user’s commands and provide proactive services to users. Keywords: human robot interaction, ubiquitous virtual reality, intelligent machine space. 1 Introduction Recently various computing paradigms which are a concept of combining real and virtual world, such as ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, and ubiquitous virtual reality have appeared to improve the quality of human life [1,2]. The paradigms are post-desktop model of human-computer interaction in which information processing has been thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities. Especially ubiquitous virtual reality supports expansion of human ability in real environment, like human in virtual environments with various technologies. Various sensors are installed in intelligent space such as smart home, smart office and smart car. The intelligent space acquires data from the sensors to understand situation and context and provides adaptive services or personalized services with human. Moreover ubiAgent and AR agent which have form of computer graphics have been developed [3,4,5]. These types of agents take a role of information guide. However it is lack of reality because it is not physical objects.
