Robotic home assistant Care-O-bot 3
Published on Dec 13, 2012
Quote:
Care-O-bot is the product vision of a mobile service robot to assist humans in their daily life developed at Fraunhofer IPA. The meanwhile third generation of this more than 15 year old development series is characterized by a product like system design and for the first time provides the potential to apply manipulating mobile service robots in everyday environments. As an interactive butler, Care-O-bot 3 is able to move reliably among humans, to detect and grasp typical household objects, and to safely exchange them with humans.

Care-O-bot is the product vision of a mobile robot assistant to actively support humans in domestic environments. The meanwhile fourth generation of this successful development series is more agile and modular than its predecessors and offers various ways of interaction. It also stands out through the use of cost-reducing construction principles. Individual robot platforms can be configured for a wide range of applications.

The video showcases our person recognition method and exemplifies the training and recognition stages. The recognition performance under changing illumination conditions, facial expressions and varying head poses as well as the detection tracker are showcased within several scenes such as a dining table setting, office activities, or a group assembly.
The person detection and identification software is publicly available from wiki.ros.org/cob_people_perception .

Multi-User Identification and Tracking
Published on Mar 19, 2015
Quote:
The video contains three sequences of an integrated multi-sensor-based human tracking and identification system. First, the single modules are explained and visualized while demonstrating the task of identifying all three present people with the guidance of the ceiling camera based human tracker. Second, the unguided search of a certain user is shown. Finally, the same task is solved more efficiently with the assistance of the tracking system.
