Abstract

An intelligent service robot named IRIS (Interactive, Robust and Intelligent Patient Care System) has been developed with the aim to be used mainly in a sickroom of hospital. IRIS is composed of the speaker direction identification system, the dialog system with the patient, the face recognition system, the safety manipulator and the omni-directional vehicle (ODV). It is able to recognize the patient's face, to dialogue with someone, and to execute some simple tasks such as serving a drink safely by request. The hardware system of IRIS is mainly presented in this paper.
