Machine Learning in a Humanoid Intelligent Service Robot

Abstract

The service robot described herein is an engineering application combining mechanical technology and computer science. For service robots, intelligence is the core competence. The humanoid intelligent service robot developed at Chienkuo Technology University will possess five intelligent capabilities: marketing, advertisement, acceptance, guidance, and security. It must therefore be taught to obtain intelligence. The purpose of this research is to describe how an instructor teaches the humanoid intelligent service robot. First, according to the required basic action and distinct service script, the robot instructor demonstrates the basic human action. The digital 3D motion capture system captures these motions via video. The movements of the robot instructor's limbs and trunk will be digitized, encoded, and stored in the robot's intelligent computer memory. When service instructions activate the robot, it will replay the motions taught using 27 DC motors, 5 DC servo motors, and 10 solenoids.
