Modelling and Implementation of Humanoid Robot Behaviour

Abstract

This paper presents an approach for modelling and implementation of autonomous humanoid system's behaviour. The main objective of our project was to analyse possible interaction scenarios between humans and autonomous robots, and to elaborate a framework for providing flexible guided tour options, utilising the features of humanoid PAL REEM robot. The framework can be used to support guided tours through exhibitions, museums, art centres, innovative labs, etc. We introduce the core results of the project and briefly discuss our future work. There are many scenarios where humans interactively conduct some joint activities. Using our approach, presented here, one of the parties could be replaced by humanoid robots. State of the art technology in voice recognition and generation, as well as path planning were used to achieve requested research objectives.
