A Navigation Framework for Multiple Mobile Robots and its Application at the Expo.02 Exhibition
(2003)2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and AutomationThis paper presents a navigation framework which enables multiple mobile robots to attain individual goals, coordinate their actions and work safely and reliably in a highly dynamic environment. We give an overview of the framework architecture, its layering and the subsystems reactive obstacle avoidance, local path planning, global path planning, multi-robot planning and localization. The latter receives particular attention as the ...Conference Paper -
Multi-Robot Human-Interation and Visitor Flow Management
(2003)2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and AutomationIn this paper we address the task of human-robot interaction in public mass exposition with several autonomous robots at a time. This implies questions regarding multi-robot control and interaction management with respect to social and commercial aspects of such an exposition. Multi-robot and interaction management is addressed with respect to visitor density and visitor flow. Human-robot interaction is modeled using the SOUL environment. ...Conference Paper -
Designing a Secure and Robust Mobile Interacting Robot for the Long Term
(2003)2003 IEEE International Conference on Robotic and AutomationThis paper presents the genesis of RoboX. This tour guide robot has been built from the scratch based on the experience of the Autonomous Systems Lab. The production of 11 of those machines has been realized by a spin-off of the lab: BlueBotics SA. The goal was to maximize the autonomy and interactivity of the mobile platform while ensuring high robustness, security and performance. The result is an interactive moving machine which can ...Conference Paper
