Intelligent service robot with voice recognition and telepresence capabilities

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to propose an intelligent service robot in indoor environment with voice recognition and telepresence capabilities. We have assumed that this model of service robot is used to deliver a drinking cup to the recognized customer from the starting point to the destination. We have developed and introduced 3 main modules to avoid obstacle, to recognize commands and telepresence capabilities based on Google App Engine. The detection of obstacles, which is based on the information from the 3 ultrasonic sensors, uses an Interval type-2 Fuzzy Logic for adopting uncertainty. The main contribution of this research is to provide a complete mechanism of communication model between main controllers to other modules in service robot. We present the results of the experiment of the service robot called BeeBot III which implements our proposed method and we also evaluate its performance.
