“…In the scope of IEETA Transverse Activity on Intelligent Robotics, the project CAMBADA 1 @Home was created in January 2011 following the team past research done in the CARL 2 [3] project 3 and the experience in the CAMBADA [4] robotic soccer team. The objective of CARL project was to study the interrelations and integration of various dimensions of the problem of building an intelligent robot: humanrobot interaction, sensory-motor skills and perception, decision-making capabilities and learning.…”

Spoken language is a natural way to control the human-robot interaction, especially for mobile service robots. It has some important advantages over other communication approaches: eyes and hands free, communication from a distance, even without being in line of sight and no need for additional learning for humans. In this paper, we present the spoken dialog framework integrated in our mobile service robot CAMBADA@Home, a robotic platform aimed at move into a living space and interact with users of that space. The proposed framework comprises three major spoken and natural language processing components: an Automatic Speech Recognition component to process the human requests, a Text-to-Speech component to generate more natural responses from the robot side, and a dialog manager to control how these two components work together.

“…The transmitted data is the position of the ball, the lines detected for localization purposes and obstacles positions. Given the well structured environment the robots play in, all this data is currently acquired by color segmentation [20][24] [13]. Agent is the process that integrates the sensor information and constructs the robot's worldstate.…”

This paper presents the proposal of a robotic platform for elderly care integrated in the Living Usability Lab for Next Generation Networks. The project aims at developing technologies and services tailored to enable the active aging and independent living of the elderly population. The proposed robotic platform is based on the CAMBADA robotic soccer platform, with the necessary modifications, both at hardware and software levels, while simultaneously applying the experiences achieved in the robotic soccer environment.

“…Created by CAMBADA project [6], it provides the infrastructure used by the robot soccer team from the University of Aveiro. The middleware provides a distributed shared memory model, where each team member, called agent receives the local copy of the states of all other agents at each control loop [7]. Some of the challenges faced by the creators of the project are: "How to assign different tasks to a variety of robots?…”

Robot soccer is one example of a real-time multirobot system. The cooperation among them is one of the challenges like to be overcome. Distributed approaches for local state exchanging like Real-time Databases (RTDB) are CPU demanding and complex to write and maintain. Thus, this work presents a new communication approach based on a centralized middleware named High-Level Architecture (HLA), where the robots adapt their transmission rate based on the performance of the other robots. At same time, we investigate the benefits and impacts of using HLA for real-time applications. Experiments demonstrated that all real-time requirements of a robot soccer application were reached using this approach, pointing to a new possibility for real-time communications between robots.
