UBC Hackathon - PR2 Rides the Elevator

Published on Jun 10, 2012

As a joint effort between the CARIS lab and LCI at UBC, we have programmed our PR2 to navigate between the two laboratories located in different floors by taking the elevator. The ultimate goal is to eventually get PR2 to deliver mails and packages between the two locations.

All the code for this project is available at sourceforge.net in the ubc-ros-pkg pr2_elevator stack.

ORi project: PR2 waits to ride the elevator and finds someone there. What should it do?

Published on Apr 23, 2013

A PR2 robot has been programmed to autonomously ride the elevator at the University of British Columbia.

If the robot encounters someone also using or waiting to use the elevator that can't be shared with the robot, what should the robot do?

As part of the Open Roboethics initiative (ORi), we asked the question to a group of participants. What the participants said the robot should do has been directly incorporated in the behaviours designed and demonstrated in this video.

Many thanks to Emanuele Micheli at Scuola di Robotica for video edits.
