BIRON – The Bielefeld Robot Companion
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the recent past, service robots that are able to interact with humans in a natural way have become increasingly popular. A special kind of service robots that are designed for personal use at home are the so-called robot companions. They are expected to communicate with nonexpert users in natural and intuitive way. For such natural interactions with humans the robot has to detect communication partners and focus its attention on them. Moreover, the companion has to be able to understand speech and gestures of a user and to carry out dialogs in order to get instructed, i.e., introduced to its environment. We address these problems by presenting the current state of our mobile robot BIRON, the Bielefeld Robot Companion.

Research Issues for Designing Robot Companions: BIRON as a Case Study
Current research in robotics is driven by the goal to achieve a high user acceptance of service robots for private households. This implies that robots have to increase their social aptness in order to become a robot companion that is able to interact in a natural way and to carry out tasks for the user. In this paper we present the Bielefeld Robot Companion (BIRON) as an example for the develo...
متن کاملModality integration and dialog management for a robotic assistant
The communication with robotic assistants or companions is a challenging new domain for the use of dialog systems. In contrast to classical spoken language interfaces users interact with mobile robots mostly in a multi-modal way. In this paper we will present the integration of several modalities in the dialog system of BIRON – the Bielefeld Robot Companion. Besides speech as the main modality ...
متن کاملA multi-modal dialog system for a mobile robot
A challenging domain for dialog systems is their use for the communication with robotic assistants. In contrast to the classical use of spoken language for information retrieval, on a mobile robot multimodal dialogs and the dynamic interaction of the robot system with its environment have to be considered. In this paper we will present the dialog system developed for BIRON – the Bielefeld Robot...
متن کاملMulti-modal interaction management for a robot companion
Acknowledgments This thesis would not have been possible without the support of many people. I want to first thank my advisor Dr. Britta Wrede for many inspiring discussions in the last 3.5 years that helped me to substantially improve my work. I'm also very grateful to Prof. David Traum who carefully reviewed this thesis and offered many constructive suggestions. Many thanks are due to Prof. G...
متن کاملMoving from augmented to interactive mapping
Recently1 there has been a growing interest in human augmented mapping[1, 2]. That is: a mobile robot builds a low level spatial representation of the environment based on its sensor readings while a human provides labels for human concepts, such as rooms, which are then augmented or anchored to this representation or map [3]. Given such an augmented map the robot has the ability to communicate...
