Haptic Interface for Domestic Service Robot
نویسندگان
چکیده
Domestic service robots are designed for human environment. Therefore, the robot should be controlled by means of natural interactions rather than the common controllers used in laboratory setting (e.g. keyboard or joypad). In this paper, a feature for controlling a domestic service robot through physical interaction is presented. The feature showcases the utilization of the robot's manipulator as its haptic interface. The feature uses low pass filter and proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller which remove the rapid fluctuation in the force input and stabilize the velocity output. The robot’s omnidirectional capability is accommodated through different interaction modes which can be selected based on the user preference. Through the proposed approach, the physical interaction will be translated into base motion commands which adjust itself autonomously. The result is a more natural way of controlling the robot. The feature has been proven to be intuitive and safe through the user trial which was performed in a domestic environment.

Multimodal Human-Machine Interaction for Service Robots in Home-Care Environments
This contribution focuses on multimodal interaction techniques for a mobile communication and assistance system on a robot platform. The system comprises of acoustic, visual and haptic input modalities. Feedback is given to the user by a graphical user interface and a speech synthesis system. By this, multimodal and natural communication with the robot system is possible.

Service applications of robotic technologies begin to appear in several aspects of daily life, motivated by a number of different reasons. One of the most significant is the over-aging and decreasing of the population in Europe that will cause dramatic social changes in all European Countries. The poor state of most of Health Care Systems in Europe is not promising the level of assistance and t...

This article presents a haptic system for bimanual haptic feedback that is composed of two light-weight robot arms. The system has a workspace and force capabilities similar to that of two human arms. Sophisticated control strategies are implemented to enable using this system as haptic interface. Depending on the requirements of the task one of three different handles can connect the human han...
متن کاملRobot-assisted shopping for the blind: issues in spatial cognition and product selection
Research on spatial cognition and blind navigation suggests that a device aimed at helping blind people to shop independently should provide the shopper with effective interfaces to the locomotor and haptic spaces of the supermarket. In this article, we argue that robots can act as effective interfaces to haptic and locomotor spaces in modern supermarkets. We also present the design and evaluat...
