The Robotic Busboy: Steps Towards Developing a Mobile Robotic Home Assistant
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 10th International Conference on Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS '08), pp. 129 - 136, July, 2008
Abstract
We present an autonomous multi-robot system that can collect objects from indoor environments and load them into a dishwasher rack. We discuss each component of the system in detail and highlight the perception, navigation, and manipulation algorithms employed.We present results from several public demonstrations, including one in which the system was run for several hours and interacted with several hundred people.
