Guiding robot at entrance hall of university library

Abstract

The authors and the students in the group have been developing a unique robot used in the university campus. The base of the robot is Segway RMP 200, which was used for the research of localization. Now it is mainly used at the entrance hall of the library for showing various useful information of the library and to attract the visitors to the robot technology. Although the software is replaced every year, we almost have achieved the automatic operation without human aid. In this paper, the robot is briefly surveyed, and the coming new function in the near future will be mentioned.
