摘要:

在本文中,我们介绍了我们的工作与胡椒机器人,服务机器人从软银机器人。我们在这项工作中有两个主要目标:通过提高机器人对环境的感知来提高机器人的自主性;以及增强机器人与用户互动的能力。为了实现这一目标,我们使用了ROS,一个用于开发机器人软件的现代开源框架,为Pepper提供了最先进的定位和导航功能。此外,我们还提供了一个基于云服务的有效人机交互架构。我们的架构通过将Pepper连接到IBM Bluemix语音识别服务来提高Pepper的语音识别功能,并使机器人能够通过内部人脸识别Web服务识别其用户。我们展示了我们成功地将ROS和IBM服务与Pepper自己的软件集成在一起的例子。因此,我们能够让Pepper在有人类和障碍物的环境中自主移动。我们还能够让Pepper执行来自已知用户以及新引入的用户的口述命令,这些用户通过多模式界面注册到机器人可信用户列表中。

英文摘要:

In this paper we present our work with the Pepper robot, a service robot from SoftBank Robotics. We had two main goals in this work: improving the autonomy of this robot by increasing its awareness of the environment; and enhance the robot ability to interact with its users. To achieve this goals, we used ROS, a modern open-source framework for developing robotics software, to provide Pepper with state of the art localization and navigation capabilities. Furthermore, we contribute an architecture for effective human interaction based on cloud services. Our architecture improves Pepper speech recognition capabilities by connecting it to the IBM Bluemix Speech Recognition service and enable the robot to recognize its user via an in-house face recognition web-service. We show examples of our successful integration of ROS and IBM services with Pepper's own software. As a result, we were able to make Pepper move autonomously in a environment with humans and obstacles. We were also able to have Pepper execute spoken commands from known users as well as newly introduced users that were enrolled in the robot list of trusted users via a multi-modal interface.
