Social Behavioral Robot that Stands in Line
Conference Paper, Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics (SMC '99), Vol. 2, pp. 993 - 998, October, 1999
Abstract
Recent research results on mobile robot navigation systems make them seem promising for utilization in service fields, but in order to utilize the robot in a peopled environment, it should recognize and obey the people's social behavior. In this paper, we propose a social behavioral robot that stands in line as people do. We have employed the notion of personal space for modeling a line of people and developed a stereo vision system to recognize them. We have also developed a mobile robot navigation system that can purchase a cup of coffee even if people are waiting for service in line.
