| Abstract |
Existing robot guides offer a tour of a building,
such as a museum or science centre, to one or more
visitors. Usually the tours are predefined and lack
support for dynamic interactions between the different
robots.
This paper focuses on the distributed collaboration of
multiple heterogeneous robots (receptionist, companion)
guiding visitors through a building. Semantic techniques
support the formal definition of tour topics, the available
content on a specific topic, and the robot and person
profiles including interests and acquired knowledge. The
robot guides select topics depending on their
participants’ interests and prior knowledge. Whenever
one guide moves into the proximity of another, the
guides automatically exchange participants, optimizing
the amount of interesting topics.
Robot collaboration is realized through the development
of a software module that allows a robot to transparently
include behaviours performed by other robots into its
own set of behaviours. The multi‐robot visitor guide
application is integrated into an extended distributed
heterogeneous robot team, using a receptionist robot that
was not originally designed to cooperate with the guides.
Evaluation of the implemented algorithms presents a 90% |
