Proposal on Distributed Questionnaire Service for Service Robots

摘要

We have reported our Network Robot Service Framework for Non-professionals in our previous paper. Software developers and programmers who are non-professionals of robotics can use robot technology easily on this framework. In this paper, we propose a distributed questionnaire service for service robots on this framework. We describe its design policy and define APIs for it to build a distributed questionnaire service system easily. Furthermore, we implement a distributed questionnaire service system as a prototype system, and verify the ease of development. Additionally, through demonstration experiment at a big event using this prototype system, we verify the effectiveness of our proposal. It can be assumed that this service with plural low-price robot can be used by a tourist spot or some community as well as an event.
