Tour-guide robot

2016 International Conference on Industrial Informatics and Computer Systems (CIICS), 2016
Museums, castles, and aquariums are some of the many tourist sites visited once exploring a new place. However, visiting a tourist site without the aid of a tourist guide; some would feel lost and confused. In this work, we introduce the implementation of a tour-guide robot using Kinect technology to ease the process of tourist guides.

The autonomous tour-guide robot Jinny

2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005
This paper explains a new tour-guide robot Jinny. The Jinny is developed by focusing on human robot interaction and autonomous navigation. In order to achieve reliable and safe navigation performance, an integrated navigation strategy is established based on the analysis of a robot's states and the decision making process of robot behaviors.

Evolving an effective robot tour guide

2011 IEEE Congress of Evolutionary Computation (CEC), 2011
Guiding visitors through an exhibit space such as a museum is an important, early application for mobile robots, and commercial robots designed for this purpose have become available. We consider the problem of using a single mobile robot to simultaneously direct multiple groups of visitors through a museum or exhibition, and formulate an objective ...

Human / robot visual interaction for a tour-guide robot

2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007
This paper deals with visual recognition and tracking of people and gestures from a camera mounted on a tour-guide robot in a human, cluttered, environment. The particle filtering framework enables the fusion of visual cues, both into an importance function from which the particles are sampled, and into a measurement model used for weights definition ...

Museum tour guide robot with augmented reality

2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia, 2010
Many mobile robots have been deployed in various museums to interact with people naturally. The key requirements of a museum tour guide robot are how well it interacts with people and how well it localizes itself. Once those are accomplished, the robot can successfully educate and entertain people.

Tour guide robot using wireless based localization

IEEE International Conference on Electro-Information Technology , EIT 2013, 2013
This paper details the design and implementation of a tour guide robot. This robot makes use of a ZigBee wireless network to locate itself in the tour area using a weighted centroid technique. Most popular technologies like GPS based localization do not work well in the indoor environment that the tour guide robot would operate in.
