The SMOOTH-Robot: A Modular, Interactive Service Robot [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2021 The SMOOTH-robot is a mobile robot that—due to its modularity—combines a relatively low price with the possibility to be used for a large variety of tasks in a wide range of domains. In this article, we demonstrate the potential of the SMOOTH-robot through three use cases, two of which were performed in elderly care homes. The robot is designed so that
