Development of task planner for u-intelligent educational robots

摘要

Recently, robots have penetrated the education market. But the power train for commercializing the robots has not been prepared yet due to chasm between developers and customers. Thus, we present a tool for u-intelligent educational robots to help customers design robot contents easily. To do so, our tool has several features. First, the tool is based on a behavior-based control architecture for human-robot-interaction. Second, the tool has behavior categories for convenience. Finally, robot contents are based on commercial multi-media for compatibility with established educational contents. Effectiveness and practicality of our tools are verified by physical implementation for commercial educational robots.
