With several applications in the hospitality, restaurant, and healthcare markets, new types of service robots are making life easier for customers and employees. For example, mobile robots can now make deliveries in a hotel, move materials in a hospital, provide security patrols on large campuses, take inventories or interact with retail customers. They offer expanded capabilities that can largely remove humans from having to perform repetitive, tedious, and often unwanted tasks. Companies designing and manufacturing such robots are offering unique approaches to customer service, providing systems to help fill in areas where labor shortages are prevalent, and creating increased revenues by offering new delivery channels, literally and figuratively. However, businesses looking to use these new robots need to be mindful of reviewing the underlying demand to ensure that such investments make sense in the long run. In this report, we will review the different types of robots aimed at providing hospitality services, their various missions, and expectations for growth in the near-to-immediate future.

  • PETMAN: a Humanoid Robot for Testing Chemical Protective Clothing
    372 日本ロボット学会誌 Vol. 30 No. 4, pp.372～377, 2012 解説 PETMAN: A Humanoid Robot for Testing Chemical Protective Clothing Gabe Nelson∗, Aaron Saunders∗, Neil Neville∗, Ben Swilling∗, Joe Bondaryk∗, Devin Billings∗, Chris Lee∗, Robert Playter∗ and Marc Raibert∗ ∗Boston Dynamics 1. Introduction Petman is an anthropomorphic robot designed to test chemical protective clothing (Fig. 1). Petman will test Individual Protective Equipment (IPE) in an envi- ronmentally controlled test chamber, where it will be exposed to chemical agents as it walks and does basic calisthenics. Chemical sensors embedded in the skin of the robot will measure if, when and where chemi- cal agents are detected within the suit. The robot will perform its tests in a chamber under controlled temper- ature and wind conditions. A treadmill and turntable integrated into the wind tunnel chamber allow for sus- tained walking experiments that can be oriented rela- tive to the wind. Petman’s skin is temperature con- trolled and even sweats in order to simulate physiologic conditions within the suit. When the robot is per- forming tests, a loose fitting Intelligent Safety Harness (ISH) will be present to support or catch and restart the robot should it lose balance or suffer a mechani- cal failure. The integrated system: the robot, chamber, treadmill/turntable, ISH and electrical, mechanical and software systems for testing IPE is called the Individual Protective Ensemble Mannequin System (Fig. 2)andis Fig. 1 The Petman robot walking on a treadmill being built by a team of organizations.† In 2009 when we began the design of Petman,there where the external fixture attaches to the robot.

  • History of Robotics: Timeline
    History of Robotics: Timeline This history of robotics is intertwined with the histories of technology, science and the basic principle of progress. Technology used in computing, electricity, even pneumatics and hydraulics can all be considered a part of the history of robotics. The timeline presented is therefore far from complete. Robotics currently represents one of mankind’s greatest accomplishments and is the single greatest attempt of mankind to produce an artificial, sentient being. It is only in recent years that manufacturers are making robotics increasingly available and attainable to the general public. The focus of this timeline is to provide the reader with a general overview of robotics (with a focus more on mobile robots) and to give an appreciation for the inventors and innovators in this field who have helped robotics to become what it is today. RobotShop Distribution Inc., 2008 www.robotshop.ca www.robotshop.us Greek Times Some historians affirm that Talos, a giant creature written about in ancient greek literature, was a creature (either a man or a bull) made of bronze, given by Zeus to Europa. [6] According to one version of the myths he was created in Sardinia by Hephaestus on Zeus' command, who gave him to the Cretan king Minos. In another version Talos came to Crete with Zeus to watch over his love Europa, and Minos received him as a gift from her. There are suppositions that his name Talos in the old Cretan language meant the "Sun" and that Zeus was known in Crete by the similar name of Zeus Tallaios.

  • Theory of Mind for a Humanoid Robot
    Theory of Mind for a Humanoid Robot Brian Scassellati MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab 545 Technology Square – Room 938 Cambridge, MA 02139 USA [email protected] http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/scaz/ Abstract. If we are to build human-like robots that can interact naturally with people, our robots must know not only about the properties of objects but also the properties of animate agents in the world. One of the fundamental social skills for humans is the attribution of beliefs, goals, and desires to other people. This set of skills has often been called a “theory of mind.” This paper presents the theories of Leslie [27] and Baron-Cohen [2] on the development of theory of mind in human children and discusses the potential application of both of these theories to building robots with similar capabilities. Initial implementation details and basic skills (such as finding faces and eyes and distinguishing animate from inanimate stimuli) are introduced. I further speculate on the usefulness of a robotic implementation in evaluating and comparing these two models. 1 Introduction Human social dynamics rely upon the ability to correctly attribute beliefs, goals, and percepts to other people. This set of metarepresentational abilities, which have been collectively called a “theory of mind” or the ability to “mentalize”, allows us to understand the actions and expressions of others within an intentional or goal-directed framework (what Dennett [15] has called the intentional stance). The recognition that other individuals have knowl- edge, perceptions, and intentions that differ from our own is a critical step in a child’s development and is believed to be instrumental in self-recognition, in providing a perceptual grounding during language learning, and possibly in the development of imaginative and creative play [9].

  • Time Parameterization of Humanoid Robot Paths
    SUBMITTED TO IEEE TRANS. ROBOT. , VOL. XX, NO. XX, 2010 1 Time Parameterization of Humanoid Robot Paths Wael Suleiman, Fumio Kanehiro, Member, IEEE, Eiichi Yoshida, Member, IEEE, Jean-Paul Laumond, Fellow Member, IEEE, and Andr´eMonin Abstract—This paper proposes a unified optimization frame- work to solve the time parameterization problem of humanoid robot paths. Even though the time parameterization problem is well known in robotics, the application to humanoid robots has not been addressed. This is because of the complexity of the kinematical structure as well as the dynamical motion equation. The main contribution in this paper is to show that the time pa- rameterization of a statically stable path to be transformed into a dynamical stable trajectory within the humanoid robot capacities can be expressed as an optimization problem. Furthermore we propose an efficient method to solve the obtained optimization problem. The proposed method has been successfully validated on the humanoid robot HRP-2 by conducting several experiments. These results have revealed the effectiveness and the robustness (a) Initial configuration (b) Final configuration of the proposed method.

  • Robots and Healthcare Past, Present, and Future
    ROBOTS AND HEALTHCARE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE COMPILED BY HOWIE BAUM What do you think of when you hear the word “robot”? 2 Why Robotics? Areas that robots are used: Industrial robots Military, government and space robots Service robots for home, healthcare, laboratory Why are robots used? Dangerous tasks or in hazardous environments Repetitive tasks High precision tasks or those requiring high quality Labor savings Control technologies: Autonomous (self-controlled), tele-operated (remote control) 3 The term “robot" was first used in 1920 in a play called "R.U.R." Or "Rossum's universal robots" by the Czech writer Karel Capek. The acclaimed Czech playwright (1890-1938) made the first use of the word from the Czech word “Robota” for forced labor or serf. Capek was reportedly several times a candidate for the Nobel prize for his works and very influential and prolific as a writer and playwright. ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS EXPLORATION- – Space Missions – Robots in the Antarctic – Exploring Volcanoes – Underwater Exploration MEDICAL SCIENCE – Surgical assistant Health Care ASSEMBLY- factories Parts Handling - Assembly - Painting - Surveillance - Security (bomb disposal, etc) - Home help (home sweeping (Roomba), grass cutting, or nursing) 7 Isaac Asimov, famous write of Science Fiction books, proposed his three "Laws of Robotics", and he later added a 'zeroth law'. Law Zero: A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm. Law One: A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm, unless this would violate a higher order law. Law Two: A robot must obey orders given it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with a higher order law.

  • Android Science - Toward a New Cross-Interdisciplinary Framework
    Android Science - Toward a new cross-interdisciplinary framework - Hiroshi ISHIGURO Department of Adaptive Machine Systems, Osaka University [email protected] 1 Android science Appearance and behavior In the evaluation of interactive robots, the performance measures are sub- jective impression of human subjects who interact with the robot and their unconscious reactions, such as synchronized human behaviors in the interac- tions and eye movements. Obviously, both the appearance and behavior of the robots are important factors in this evaluation. There are many technical reports that compare robots with di®erent behaviors. However nobody has focused on appearance in the previous robotics. There many empirical discussions on very simpli¯ed static robots, say dolls. Designing the robot's appearance, especially to give it a humanoid one, was always a role of the industrial designer. However we con- sider this to be a serious problem for developing and evaluating interactive robots. Appearance and behavior are tightly coupled with both each other and these problems, as the results of evaluation change with appearance. In our previous work, we developed several humanoids for communicating with people [3][4][5], as shown in Figure 1. We empirically know the e®ect of appear- ance is as signi¯cant as behaviors in communication. Human brain functions that recognize people support our empirical knowledge. Android Science To tackle the problem of appearance and behavior, two approaches are nec- essary: one from robotics and the other from cognitive science. The ap- proach from robotics tries to build very humanlike robots based on knowl- edge from cognitive science.

    Dissertation Mixed Reality Technologies for Novel Forms of Human-Robot Interaction Dissertation with the aim of achieving a doctoral degree at the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences Dipl.-Inf. Dennis Krupke Human-Computer Interaction and Technical Aspects of Multimodal Systems Department of Informatics Universität Hamburg November 2019 Review Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Frank Steinicke Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Jianwei Zhang Drittgutachter: Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner Vorsitzende der Prüfungskomission: Prof. Dr. Simone Frintrop Datum der Disputation: 17.08.2020 “ My dear Miss Glory, Robots are not people. They are mechanically more perfect than we are, they have an astounding intellectual capacity, but they have no soul.” Karel Capek Abstract Nowadays, robot technology surrounds us and future developments will further increase the frequency of our everyday contacts with robots in our daily life. To enable this, the current forms of human-robot interaction need to evolve. The concept of digital twins seems promising for establishing novel forms of cooperation and communication with robots and for modeling system states. Machine learning is now ready to be applied to a multitude of domains. It has the potential to enhance artificial systems with capabilities, which so far are found in natural intelligent creatures, only. Mixed reality experienced a substantial technological evolution in recent years and future developments of mixed reality devices seem to be promising, as well. Wireless networks will improve significantly in the next years and thus, latency and bandwidth limitations will be no crucial issue anymore. Based on the ongoing technological progress, novel interaction and communication forms with robots become available and their application to real-world scenarios becomes feasible.
