Voice enabled interface for interactive tour-guide robots [PDF]
This paper considers design methodologies in order to develop voice-enabled interfaces for tour-guide robots to be deployed at the Robotics Exposition of the Swiss National Exhibition (Expo.02). Human-robot voice communication presents new challenges for the design of fully autonomous mobile robots, in that interactivity must be robot-initiated in ...

Simultaneous Human-Robot Matching and Routing for Multi-Robot Tour Guiding Under Time Uncertainty [PDF]
AbstractThis work presents a framework for multi-robot tour guidance in a partially known environment with uncertainty, such as a museum. In the proposed centralized multi-robot planner, a simultaneous matching and routing problem (SMRP) is formulated to match the humans with robot guides according to their selected places of interest (POIs) and ...

Heterogeneous Context-Aware Robots Providing a Personalized Building Tour
Existing robot guides offer a tour of a building, such as a museum or science centre, to one or more visitors. Usually the tours are predefined and lack support for dynamic interactions between the different robots.
