Research Project Outline
This project is aimed to realize a future city environment in which a social robot roams in a public space and offers useful services, such as information-providing and physical assistance.
In order to realize this project, two kinds of research will be conducted. The first one will be aimed at achieving a technique based on a sensor network that will be able to understand how the humans use a public place. The second investigation will be aimed at enabling a robot to roam the environment without hindering the movement of people, while talking kindly to walking people.
