The mobot museum robot installations: a five year experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper summarizes a long-term project to install and maintain socially interactive, autonomous mobile robots in public spaces. We have deployed four robots over the past five years, accumulating a total operational time exceeding seven years. This document introduces the robots, then focuses on lessons learned from each deployment. Finally, this paper describes how this entire project came to a close, offering a cautionary tale for those who wish to embark on such an effort in the future.

The History of the Mobot Museum Robot Series: An Evolutionary Study
This paper describes a long-terra project to install socially interactive, autonomous mobile robots in public spaces. We have deployed four robots over the last three years, accumulating a total operational time of about six years. We introduce the robots, then focus on the lessons learned from one deployment to the next. The evolution of the robothuman interface is of particular interest, alth...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot using Mono-Vision and Mono-Audition
Incorporation of various types of sensors increases the degrees of autonomy and intelligence of mobile robots (mobots) in perceiving surroundings, which at the same time imposes a large computational burden on data processing. The purpose of the research presented in this paper is to develop a low-cost multisensor system and incidental algorithms for autonomous navigation of a mobot. This paper...
متن کاملTranslations: experiments in dialogic representation of cultural diversity in three museum sound installations
Using the example of three experimental museum sound installations, this paper discusses the translation into practice of the intention to make meaningful connections between diverse social positions and experiences. We use the term ‘dialogic’ to theorise these interactive intentions and show them at work in the content, development processes and form of the sound installations. Our discussion ...
متن کاملComputer-based system for training and ranking mobot operators - selection procedure
Mobots (mobile robots) remote–controlled by human operators are more and more widely used for watching and guarding. A mobot should not be controlled by an occasional person. A human being has to show specific ability to be a good mobot operator. This ability is individual for each person and can be discovered with the help of an experiment which is time-consuming and expensive. Then the proble...
متن کاملA Mobile Robot with Onboard Parallel Processor and Large Workspace Arm
a. The MIT AI Lab’s second mobile robot, MOBOT-2, has a number of unique design features. In this paper we describe two of them in detail. First, MOBOT-2 has an extremely cheap 32 processor distributed control system. The processor system, called BARNACLE, runs asynchronously with no central locus of control. Unlike almost all other parallel processors this one has no expensive communications r...
