A robust integrated system for selecting and commanding multiple mobile robots

摘要: We describe a system whereby multiple humans and mobile robots interact robustly using combination of sensing signalling modalities. Extending our previous work on selecting an individual robot from population by face-engagement, we show that reaching toward - specialization pointing can be used to designate particular for subsequent one-on-one interaction. To achieve robust operation despite frequent problems, the use three phases human detection tracking, emit audio cues solicit interaction guide behaviour human. A series real-world trials demonstrates practicality approach.
