Implementation of Entertaining Robot on ROS Framework

摘要

As technologies are continually growing, there should be an option to implement technologies such as robots as entertainer at the tourism places, replacing the old-fashioned clowns and mascots. However, robots with a lot of features need relatively complex data processing. By implementing cloud robotics, all process and data calculation will be done by computers which are separated from the body of the robot. To implement this new robotics system, we use PeopleBot as the main physical platform, three computers, and a tablet. Communication between devices occurs via network and be facilitated by Robot Operating System (ROS) framework. Robot has some features such as Layout, image capture and storage in cloud, navigation, crowd detection, and speech recognition
