Development of a Human Service Robot Application Using Pepper Robot as a Museum Guide

Abstract

In recent years, the attention that the humanoid robots gained has led us to their inclusion in a wide variety of application areas, and more to come in the following years. Nowadays we have access to a variety of robots, from application area to new forms of interaction. Pepper, the humanoid robot made in 2014 by Aldebaran Robotics, is created to establish a natural connection with a human. The primary goal of Pepper is set to improve people daily routines and to entertain. Our objective would be for Pepper to behave like a museum guide welcoming visitors, accompanying them through the museum, and providing information about the exhibits that the visitors are stopping by.
