Friendly Amusing Mobile function for human-robot interaction

摘要

This paper introduces a tag-playing robot as a "Friendly Amusing Mobile" (FAM) function to expand the mobile robot Step-On Interface (SOI) use and to promote the human-robot interaction through a motion, targeting maintenance, training, and recovery of human physical and cognitive functions in the elderly, physically challenged, injured, etc. Displaying a previously prepared bitmap (BMP) image becomes the display update rate faster and makes it easy to design button placement and other screen parameters using a painting software package. The scope matrix generated from the BMP image simplifies the step detection and recognition, and the motion trajectory design editor facilitates the robot behavior design.
