Care-O-bot® 3 - Vision of a Robot Butler
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper Care-O-bot 3 is introduced, which is designed as a prototype for a household robot. In contrast to merely technology driven service robot developments, many considerations on embodiment were conducted. In particular, Care-O-bot 3 excels in its user-interaction oriented design. Nevertheless, it is equipped with leading edge technology, which is highly integrated into a very compact form. This convergence of design and technology accounts for the idea of Care-O-bot 3 being a product vision for a robot butler.

متن کاملCare-O-bot 3 — Rationale for human-robot interaction design
This paper presents the design rationale for a new service robot, Care-O-bot 3 that is meant to operate as a companion robot in people’s homes. Note, the emphasis in the paper is on the design of a companion robot as a product, not as a research prototype. The design is motivated from a multi-disciplinary viewpoint and compared to other approaches in the field which often focus on a humanoid ap...
