چکیده
Rob the Robot is a concierge, a doorman, that greets guests and residents in an apartment building. The benefits of having a doorman are many. Among them are the benefits of having someone to receive and store oversized packages for you so you don’t have to pick them up at the post office, and the benefit of having someone notify you when someone comes to visit you. However, given the high cost of hiring a doorman in NYC ($44,000 per year according to New York Post), it makes sense to use a humanoid robot to fulfill these tasks. Our program is implemented on the PR2 robot, which greets guests and delivers stored packages to guests. A similar implementation of this is the butler robot, which can locate, fetch, and deliver drinks.

PSO-Based Path Planning Algorithm for Humanoid Robots Considering Safety
In this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses Ferguson splines and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...
