Development of an intelligent interaction service robot using ROS

摘要

The research and development of intelligent interaction service robot become popular these years. Human-robot interaction play an important role in service robot as the intelligent behavior is natural way that people communicate with robot. This paper presents Xinxin, an intelligent interaction service robot designed as receptionist, partner and a mascot of 120th anniversary of XJTU. The robot combines simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), somatosensory interaction with the robotic arm, voice command, remote control by workstation and telephone's APP, using Robot Operate System (ROS) as the core of information processing. This paper describes the software and hardware platform of the robot, and the solution of system integration. Finally, experiments shows that the robot has reliable and effective performance on human-robot interaction.
