Adaptive Robot to Person Encounter (original) (raw)

Experiment and Results Experiments have been done both in simulation and in real world. The simulation tests the capability of the Case Base Reasoning module, and the real world experiment tests the movement pattern of the robot. The simulation has been done using the robotic software framework Player/Stage, and the real world experiment has been done using a FESTO Robotino robot platform equipped with a laser range finder and a camera for detecting persons. In the simulation an extra simulated robot was used to represent a person. Experiments were made with persons both interested and not interested in interaction.
