Autonomous navigation of an indoor tour guide robot

2008 IEEE Workshop on Advanced robotics and Its Social Impacts, 2008
This paper develops methodologies and techniques for autonomous navigation of a tour-guide robot with a human-robot interaction system. The designed navigation system includes global localization, dynamic path planning, local goal-seeking, safe obstacle-avoidance, behavior fusion, and autonomous robot control.

Multisensor-based outdoor tour guide robot NTU-I

2008 SICE Annual Conference, 2008
This paper presents our development of a new outdoor tour guide robot, named, NTU-I. It is constructed to provide autonomous guiding services on the campus of National Taiwan University. In order to fulfill reliability and safety of outdoor navigation, data acquired via several sensing technologies, such as differential global positioning system (DGPS),

Probabilistic Algorithms and the Interactive Museum Tour-Guide Robot Minerva

The International Journal of Robotics Research, 2000
This paper describes Minerva, an interactive tour-guide robot that was successfully deployed in a Smithsonian museum. Minerva’s software is pervasively probabilistic, relying on explicit representations of uncertainty in perception and control. During 2 weeks of operation, the robot interacted with thousands of people, both in the museum and through ...

Human Interaction and Improving Knowledge through Collaborative Tour Guide Robots

2019 28th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN), 2019
In the coming years tour guide robots will be widely used in museums and exhibitions. Therefore, it is important to identify how these new museum guides can optimally interact with visitors. In this paper, we introduce the idea of two collaborative tour guide robots.

Awakening history: Preparing a museum tour guide robot for augmenting exhibits

2013 European Conference on Mobile Robots, 2013
While the idea of tour guide robots has been addressed several times, applying a video-projector based augmented reality component to this scenario is rather new. We show requirements of the localization system of the robot and how they can be fulfilled, as well as a basic system for projection correction and its suitability for this scenario.

Route Learning and Reproduction in a Tour-Guide Robot

2013
Route learning and reproduction in tour-guide robots is usually performed with the help of an expert in robotics. In this paper we describe a novel approach to these tasks, which reduces the intervention of an expert to a minimum. First, the robot is able to learn routes while following a human acting as a route instructor.

Improvement of Mobile Tour-Guide Robots from the Perspective of Users

Journal of Institute of Control, Robotics and Systems, 2012
A mobile tour-guide robot is a very attractive tour-guide in the exhibition hall of science museums and the necessity of tour-guide robots for museums is gradually increasing. Two kinds of robots have served as tour-guide robots in an exhibition hall of the Korea National Science Museum which is a very densely populated museum of many people and ...

A Study on a Localization System for Tour Guide Robot

Journal of the Korean Society of Precision Engineering, 2012
The localization system for tour guide robot was developed which is inevitable and important for the guide robot in order to guide the tourists and explain the history or contents of the site. The localization system is based on the non-inertial sensors such as a DGPS, Dead-Reckoning.
