IMPLEMENTATION OF HUMAN PERCEPTION ALGORITHMS ON A MOBILE ROBOT

Abstract: During last years, a lot of works in robotic research have explored Human-Robot interactions. Hence, a great challenge in next future will be the personal robot, with perception faculties which will enable a wide range of activities such as human localization and tracking, gesture recognition and interpretation, or object manipulation. In this paper, we will focus on human perception and we will present a human aware system implemented on a mobile robot. This system uses data from various sensors to be able to localize and to track a human presence in a wide range of distances. An exploitation of all these modalities is presented in a demo showing the robot giving an object to a person
