Using Accelerometers to Command a Cleaning Service Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work studies the effectiveness of using accelerometers to control a service robot. Two modes are proposed, a steering wheel and a movement identification mode. The validation platform is an autonomous cleaning service robot that still needs a local Human Robot Interface. For convenience, accelerometer readings are obtained from the remote command of the Nintendo Wii console. The implementation of the Steering Wheel is based on a Fuzzy Logic controller and the implementation of the movement identifier uses Case Based Reasoning approach upon identified characteristics. Results from experimental tests and user surveys evaluate the effectiveness and usefulness of the presented approach on low skilled users.

Dialogue with Robots to Support Symbiotic Autonomy
Robots are expected to support human activities in everyday environments, interacting with different kinds of users. In particular, domestic robots (i.e. domestic robots operating in our homes) have already entered the market, for example as cleaning robots or telepresence robots for elderly care. In these contexts, the interaction with the user plays a key role. Given the recent advancements i...

متن کاملFeasibility of detecting and localizing radioactive source using image processing and computational geometry algorithms
We consider the problem of finding the localization of radioactive source by using data from a digital camera. In other words, the camera could help us to detect the direction of radioactive rays radiation. Therefore, the outcome could be used to command a robot to move toward the true direction to achieve the source. The process of camera data is performed by using image processing and computa...
متن کاملHandling Complex Commands as Service Robot Task Requests
We contribute a novel approach to understand, dialogue, plan, and execute complex sentences to command a mobile service robot. We define a complex command as a natural language sentence consisting of sensing-based conditionals, conjunctions, and disjunctions. We introduce a flexible templatebased algorithm to extract such structure from the parse tree of the sentence. As the complexity of the c...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of a Mobile Duct Cleaning Robot
Inside air ventilation ducts of the confined space such as subway stations become contaminated by various contaminants and particular matters after long time operation. The accumulated various pollutants at inner duct surface easily transport and cause secondary air contamination and injure subway passengers’ respiratory system and health. In fact, only periodic duct cleaning works can improve ...
