Aim of this project is the development of a robot that can operate autonomously at exhibitions and malls to attract people to a given location, by showing interesting behaviors.
The robot first exhibition has been at [Robotica 2009], within [HI-Tech Expo] at [Fiera di Milano], on November 23-25, 2009. Here, the robot had to go around in an area delimited by a white stripe and contact verbally and with gestures people entering the area, in order to attract them to the booth.
Davide Rizzi has implemented the hardware and control SW starting from a Janus base originally developed for [Robocup]
The robot body has been implemented in collaboration with [Pupazzia], who has designed and implemented the external part.
Manuel Moroni and Antonio Micali are working on behaviors for E-2? for the HCI Lab Course at the master level.
Mikhail Voronstov, Stefano Zaniboni, and Marco Zanini are also working on behaviors for E-2? for the HCI Lab Course at the master level.
Giulio Fiscella is working on making more robust the face detection system, for its BS Thesis to be discussed on July 2010.
Francesco Balzani has developed some behaviors, using MRT, as its IOL first level thesis discussed on February 22, 2010, Available from the discussion page.
