Konrad and Suse, Two Robots Guiding Visitors in a University Building
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of the hardand software architecture of a mobile visitor information system for the Konrad Zuse building of the School of Computer Science and Automation at the Ilmenau University of Technology. Two mobile robots serve as mobile information terminals with capabilities for generating way descriptions and guiding the visitor to the points of interest (labs, meeting rooms, offices, employees) in the building. The paper focuses on the constraints resulting from the challenging environment in this multi-floor building, as well as on the integration aspects of various skills for navigation and human-robot interaction. Besides first experience with the system, the further development is outlined as well.

متن کاملHeterogeneous Context-Aware Robots Providing a Personalized Building Tour
Existing robot guides offer a tour of a building, such as a museum or science centre, to one or more visitors. Usually the tours are predefined and lack support for dynamic interactions between the different robots. This paper focuses on the distributed collaboration of multiple heterogeneous robots (receptionist, companion) guiding visitors through a building. ...

This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...

In this article, a fast and reliable map-merging algorithm is proposed to produce a global two dimensional map of an indoor environment in a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) process. In SLAM process, to find its way in this environment, a robot should be able to determine its position relative to a map formed from its observations. To solve this complex problem, simultan...
