The impact of spoken interfaces on the design

service robots

Abstract — In this paper, we present an initial design of an interactive interface for a service robot based on multi sensor fusion. We show how the integration of speech, vision and laser range data can be performed using a high level of abstraction. Guided by a number of scenarios commonly used

We presented a new learning approach to the application of service robots, which is based on learning by imitation. Service robots need to increase their set of actions, which would lead to the ability of adapting their behaviours. In contrast with traditional learning approaches learning

This paper describes the state-of-the art of a large-scale project, aimed towards the development of personal service robots for the elderly population. Taking care of elderly and chronically ill people is one of the major challenges currently faced by society. Needs range from increasing

Service robotics products are becoming a reality. This paper describes three core technologies that enable the next generation of service robots. They are low-cost, make use of low-cost hardware, and prepare for a short time-tomarket for product development. The first technology is an object

Abstract. This paper describes the functional architecture design and the different modules that integrate it of the service robot Nanisha of UPAEP. The robot is used as a vehicle for research in control of movement and human-robot interaction. The at Home League of RoboCup provides an ideal tested

it is described how such a variety of methods have been integrated to provide an autonomous service robot system that can carry out fetch-and-carry type missions. The system integrates sensory information from sonars, laser scanner, and computer vision to allow navigation and human-computer interaction through

Abstract: The outdoor service robots which we call OSR-01 and OSR-02 are presently under development intended for cleaning up urban areas by means of collecting discarded trash such as plastic bottles, cans, plastic bags and so on. In this paper, we mainly describe the architecture of OSR-02 which

Service robots or personal robots are to be used by non-expert users. This requires special attention to the human-robot interaction to provide systems that people are comfortable to use and be around. In this paper a number of different modalities for human-robot interaction are presented and a
