Project Description
The use of robots will be in the near future extended to new demanding applications to help humans in everyday tasks, where cooperative and the friendly interaction with humans will be at the core of the robotic system. Examples are leisure, domestic tasks, shopping or elderly guidance assistance, entertainment, urban tasks, rescue, shop-floor tasks, etc. In order to achieve this advanced form of social interaction, robots in combination with the environment systems (the NRS – Network Robot Systems) have to incorporate perception systems, such as cameras to detect, identify and track people; social robot communication abilities, such as motion (positioning, adaptability and anticipatory behavior), speech and gesture capabilities; and social robot behaviors, for example guide people from one place to another.
The general objective of this project is to design new techniques of cooperation between robots and human beings for doing tasks in urban environments, using the information obtained from the robot and environment (network cameras) perception systems. Specifically we want to advance in the development of new techniques in: localization and navigation in urban areas in dense urban areas; robot and environment perception (human action detection and tracking) where illuminant conditions can change; learning and adaptation of robot-human interaction; and designing new models for robot-human task cooperation (for example in guiding people). In order to do the project we will use our laboratories (BRL) and robots, Tibi & Dabo and a plaform robot. We will test these new techniques in the Barcelona Robot Lab (BRL) a real 10.000m2 outdoor scenario located at the North Campus of the UPC. The cooperation between robots and person will be tested in guiding people task and cooperative and coordinate transportation of people.
