HOMER: Human Oriented MEssenger Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
HOMER, the Human Oriented MEssenger Robot, is a stereovision guided mobile robot for performing human-interactive tasks. Our design concept for HOMER combines mobile robotic techniques for navigation, localization, map building and obstacle avoidance with human interaction capacities for person recognition, speech, facial expression and gesture recognition, and human dynamics modeling. HOMER’s capabilities are modular and independent, and are integrated in a consistent and scalable fashion under the umbrella of a decision-theoretic planner, which models the uncertain effects of the robot’s actions. The planner uses factored Markov decision processes, allowing for simple specification of tasks, goals and state spaces. We demonstrate HOMER performing a message delivery task, which is rich and complex both in robot navigation and in human interaction.

Visual Tracking using Learning Histogram of Oriented Gradients by SVM on Mobile Robot
The intelligence of a mobile robot is highly dependent on its vision. The main objective of an intelligent mobile robot is in its ability to the online image processing, object detection, and especially visual tracking which is a complex task in stochastic environments. Tracking algorithms suffer from sequence challenges such as illumination variation, occlusion, and background clutter, so an a...

Tracking control of the direct-drive robot manipulators in high-speed is a challenging problem. The Coriolis and centrifugal torques become dominant in the high-speed motion control. The dynamical model of the robotic system including the robot manipulator and actuators is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled, uncertain and computationally extensive in non-companion form. In order to overcome thes...

Blinking and eye movement are one of the most important abilities that most people have, even people with spinal cord problem. By using this ability these people could handle some of their activities such as moving their wheelchair without the help of others. One of the most important fields in Human-Robot Interaction is the development of artificial limbs working with brain signals. The purpos...
متن کاملNavigation of a Mobile Robot Using Virtual Potential Field and Artificial Neural Network
Mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. The proposed approach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the track using a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. For training, a human operator navigates the mobile robot in ...
