Narrative Situation Assessment for Human-Robot Interaction
(2003)2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and AutomationIn this paper we address the problem of interpreting sensory data for human-robot interaction, especially when gathered from several robots at the same time. After describing motion tracking in this context, we introduce a general framework for situation representation, and how it simplifies extraction of information suitable for complex machine dialogs. As a concrete implementation thereof, a narrative description of a complex scene in ...Conference Paper -
Smooth and Efficient Obstacle Avoidance for a Tour Guide Robot
(2003)2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and AutomationWe present the local path planning and obstacle avoidance method used on the autonomous tour-guide robot RoboX. It has proven its value during a 5 month operation of ten such robots in a real-world application, a very crowded exhibition. Three known approaches (DWA, elastic band, NF1) have been integrated into a system that performs smooth motion efficiently, in the sense of computational effort as well BS goal-directedness. Apart from ...Conference Paper
