Caesar: an intelligent domestic service robot

Intelligent Service Robotics, 2012
In this paper we present Caesar, an intelligent domestic service robot. In domestic settings for service robots complex tasks have to be accomplished. Those tasks benefit from deliberation, from robust action execution and from flexible methods for human---robot interaction that account for qualitative notions used in natural language as well as human ...

A Floor Cleaning Robot for Domestic Environments

Proceedings of the Advances in Robotics, 2017
Although a number of cleaning machines have made its way into the market, cleaning robot in the context of domestic floor environments with different types of dust and dynamic obstacles is still a challenge. This paper presents a mobile robot with sweeping, vacuum suction and wiping capacity for effective cleaning of a domestic floor.

Hi robot [domestic robot developments]

Engineering & Technology, 2008
Microsoft founder Bill Gates likens the challenge of putting robots in every home to that faced by the PC pioneers, as they attempted to put a computer in every home. Despite the difficulties, the level of excitement and expectation reminds the author of the time during the convergence of new technology when one dreamed of the day when a computer would

Johnny: An Autonomous Service Robot for Domestic Environments

Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems, 2011
In this article we describe the architecture, algorithms and real-world benchmarks performed by Johnny Jackanapes, an autonomous service robot for domestic environments. Johnny serves as a research and development platform to explore, develop and integrate capabilities required for real-world domestic service applications.

Human Activity Recognition for Domestic Robots

2015
Capabilities of domestic service robots could be further improved, if the robot is equipped with an ability to recognize activities performed by humans in its sensory range. For example in a simple scenario a floor cleaning robot can vacuum the kitchen floor after recognizing human activity ”cooking in the kitchen”. Most of the complex human activities

Towards a Vision System for a Domestic Robot

Proceedings of IEEE Systems Man and Cybernetics Conference - SMC, 1995
We discuss a way to set up a reliable 3D office scene recognition and interpretation scheme for a home robot using artificial vision only. It is a very difficult problem which has been studied by numerous scientists for many years. We do not pretend to describe the solution of this problem in the present paper, but simply to express our state of mind ...

Object Detection and Classification for Domestic Robots

2012
A main task for domestic robots is to navigate safely at home, find places and detect objects. We set out to exploit the knowledge available to the robot to constrain the task of understanding the structure of its environment, i.e., ground for safe motion and walls for localisation, to simplify object detection and classification.

Planning and execution of tasks for a domestic robot

Robotics and Autonomous Systems, 1989
Abstract This paper proposes an architecture for an autonomous robot designed to perform tasks in a partially structured domestic environment. Particular attention is given to the roles of symbolic reasoning for planning and plan execution in such a robot.

Service robots in the domestic environment

Proceedings of the 1st ACM SIGCHI/SIGART conference on Human-robot interaction, 2006
Domestic service robots have long been a staple of science fiction and commercial visions of the future. Until recently, we have only been able to speculate about what the experience of using such a device might be. Current domestic service robots, introduced as consumer products, allow us to make this vision a reality.This paper presents ethnographic ...
