Improving Human-Robot Interaction Interfaces for Intelligent Mobile Service Robots in Indoor Environment

There are significant increases in the need of using service robots to adopt the roles of delivery vehicles and personal assistants. Atlantic Business Express is looking at bring the service robots to Canada, starting in Nova Scotia through working with Dalhousie University. The project is to improve the intelligent human-robot interaction interfaces for mobile service robots with safe navigation through obstacles and moving objects such as humans in indoor environment. The interns will develop and integrate new audio and vision modules with seamless integration with the existing motion planner and collision and obstacle avoidance modules. The company will benefit from having well-tested autonomous robots which can interact with people through voice control, 3D object detection and facial recognition. The results will help the company to improve their competitiveness and have larger share of the market in service robots. The Canadian community will benefit from the state-of-the-art research project.
