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 will be at [Robotica 2009], within [HI-Tech Expo] at [Fiera di Milano], on November 23-25, 2009. Here, the robot will go around in an area delimited by a white stripe and will contact verbally and with gestures people entering the area.
The robot body has been implemented in collaboration with [Pupazzia], who has designed and implemented the external part.
Francesco Balzani is in charge of developing the behaviors, using MRT.
Davide Rizzi has implemented the hardware and control SW starting from a Janus base originally developed for [Robocup]
