Intuitive Multimodal Interaction for Domestic Service Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
Domestic service tasks require three main skills from autonomous robots: robust navigation in indoor environments, flexible object manipulation, and intuitive communication with the users. In this paper, we present the communication skills of our anthropomorphic service and communication robots Dynamaid and Robotinho. Both robots are equipped with an intuitive multimodal communication system, including speech synthesis and recognition, gestures and facial expressions. We evaluate our systems in the RoboCup@Home league, where our team NimbRo@Home won the innovation award for innovative robot body design, empathic behaviors, and robot-robot cooperation in 2009.

Towards Robust Mobility, Flexible Object Manipulation, and Intuitive Multimodal Interaction for Domestic Service Robots
In this paper, we detail the contributions of our team NimbRo to the RoboCup @Home league in 2011. We explain design and rationale of our domestic service robot Cosero that we used for the first time in a competition in 2011. We demonstrated novel capabilities in the league such as real-time table-top segmentation, flexible grasp planning, and real-time tracking of objects. We also describe our...
متن کاملDynamaid, an Anthropomorphic Robot for Research on Domestic Service Applications
Domestic tasks require three main skills from autonomous robots: robust navigation, object manipulation, and intuitive communication with the users. Most robot platforms, however, support only one or two of the above skills. In this paper we present Dynamaid, a new robot platform for research on domestic service applications. For robust navigation, Dynamaid has a base with four individually ste...
متن کاملMultimodal Interaction with Co-located Drones for Search and Rescue
We present a multimodal interaction framework that allows a human operator to interact with co-located drones during search and rescue missions. In contrast with usual human-multidrones interaction scenarios, in this case the operator is not fully dedicated to the control of the robots, but directly involved in search and rescue tasks, hence only able to provide fast, although high-value, instr...
متن کاملSocial Service Robots in Public and Private Environments
Research on service robots especially for health care or home assistant has been in growing interest during last decades. New solutions are needed to assist elderly people and personnel working in elderly houses or in hospitals. Demographic change as the population is aging will affect in other service domains as well. In the current paper, we describe a scalable service robot system designed f...
متن کاملHaptic Interface for Domestic Service Robot
Domestic service robots are designed for human environment. Therefore, the robot should be controlled by means of natural interactions rather than the common controllers used in laboratory setting (e.g. keyboard or joypad). In this paper, a feature for controlling a domestic service robot through physical interaction is presented. The feature showcases the utilization of the robot's manipulator...
