“…Although static robots that interact with visitors have been deployed ( Bickmore et al, 2011 ; Pitsch et al, 2011 ; Yamazaki et al, 2012 ; Gehle et al, 2017 ), mobile robots are more commonly used as museum guide robots. Mobile tour guides have been first implemented as wheeled sensorized bases ( Burgard et al, 1999 ), with the addition of communication devices such as screens, speakers, colored LEDs, arms.…”

This paper presents and discusses the development and deployment of a tour guide robot as part of the 5 g-TOURS EU research project, aimed at developing applications enabled by 5G technology in different use cases. The objective is the development of an autonomous robotic application where intelligence is off-loaded to a remote machine via 5G network, so as to lift most of the computational load from the robot itself. The application uses components that have been widely studied in robotics, (i.e., localization, mapping, planning, interaction). However, the characteristics of the network and interactions with visitors in the wild introduce specific problems which must be taken into account. The paper discusses in detail such problems, summarizing the main results achieved both from the methodological and the experimental standpoint, and is completed by the description of the general functional architecture of the whole system, including navigation and operational services. The software implementation is also publicly available.

“…Because the technologies have matured, the research focus has changed to establishing relationships between robots and visitors. Gehle et al investigated how to determine the timing for a robot to establish interaction with a visitor [38]. Del Duchetto et al developed a tour guide robot, Lindsay, which worked in a museum and guided the visitors [39].…”

Development of a Personal Guide Robot That Leads a Guest Hand-in-Hand While Keeping a Distance

This paper proposes a novel tour guide robot, “ASAHI ReBorn”, which can lead a guest by hand one-on-one while maintaining a proper distance from the guest. The robot uses a stretchable arm interface to hold the guest’s hand and adjusts its speed according to the guest’s pace. The robot also follows a given guide path accurately using the Robot Side method, a robot navigation method that follows a pre-defined path quickly and accurately. In addition, a control method is introduced that limits the angular velocity of the robot to avoid the robot’s quick turn while guiding the guest. We evaluated the performance and usability of the proposed robot through experiments and user studies. The tour-guiding experiment revealed that the proposed method that keeps distance between the robot and the guest using the stretchable arm enables the guests to look around the exhibits compared with the condition where the robot moved at a constant velocity.

“…The 'openings' are crucial and should be developed as a stepwise and coordinated process. Gehle et al demonstrated that this approach works well in an environment like a museum with random visitors (Gehle et al, 2017). Navigation in complex, dynamic urban areas comes with many challenges for mobile robots.…”

Roboter Für Assistenzfunktionen : Konzeptstudien Für Die Interaktion in Der Praxis

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The performance and flexibility of the latest robot technologies make it possible to bring more and more robots to everyday life. However, this also creates a number of challenges: safety, legal regulations, reliability, reusability, and also business models must be considered under special, difficult conditions in everyday life. Furthermore, the acceptance and interaction between humans and robots are of central importance for the success of service and assistance applications. This collection summarises 15 studies from the BMBF-funded program "Robots for Assistance: Interaction in the Field." The full studies are written in German and provide valuable insights into the challenges, potentials, and solutions for successful interaction in everyday environments. The collection is accompanied by this preface article, which, in addition to the interaction focus of the studies, addresses other important aspects for successful service and assistance robots in everyday life. Finally, the Human-Robot-Interaction (HRI) studies are summarised in English to enable the comparison and discussion of their challenges and approaches.
