چکیده

In this paper we report our study on the user experience of robot vacuum cleaner behaviour. How do people want to experience this new type of cleaning appliance? Interviews were conducted to elicit a desired robot vacuum cleaner personality. With this knowledge in mind, behaviour was designed for a future robot vacuum cleaner. A video prototype was used to evaluate how people experienced the behaviour of this robot vacuum cleaner. The results indicate that people recognized the intended personality in the robot behaviour. We recommend using a personality model as a tool for developing robot behaviour.

PCT and Beyond: Towards a Computational Framework for 'Intelligent' Communicative Systems

Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in the potential benefits of ‘intelligent’ autonomous machines such as robots. Honda’s Asimo humanoid robot, iRobot’s Roomba robot vacuum cleaner and Google’s driverless cars have fired the imagination of the general public, and social media buzz with speculation about a utopian world of helpful robot assistants or the coming robot apocalypse! How...

Fuzzy Logic Navigation and Control of a Non-holonomic Vacuum Cleaner

In this work, a simple fuzzy logic navigation and control design for a non-holonomic robotic vacuum cleaner is presented. The embedded control has been designed by using the Motorola flash microcontroller. A circular cleaning algorithm is used to clean the space, the execution of which is driven according to the underlying philosophy of binary random sequences and obstacle occurrence. Any kind ...

Dustbot: Bringing a Vacuum-Cleaner Agent to Life

A simple vacuum-cleaner agent is introduced in Russell and Norvig’s artificial intelligence (AI) text [Russell and Norvig, 2003] to illustrate different agent types to beginning AI students. Underlying the different agent types are several simple actions that take place in a vacuum cleaner world consisting of a grid of squares, some of which contain dirt. The agent’s actions include turning lef...

Surface Covering Algorithms for Semiautonomous Vacuum Cleaner

The work is focused on creation of algorithms for housekeeping hovering robot. The project’s aim was to design and implement algorithms of movement of autonomous (or semiautonomous) vacuum cleaner, that would be able to work inside of a flat, but not free of obstacles workspaces. In the paper several proposed algorithms of surface covering are discussed. The two algorithms were selected as the ...
