Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Teller, Seth Hemachandra, Sachithra Madhaw Kollar, Thomas Fleming Roy, Nicholas Teller, Seth URL to abstract on conference site We describe a robotic tour-taking capability enabling a robot to acquire local knowledge of a human-occupied environment. A tour-taking robot autonomously follows a human guide through an environment, interpreting the guide’s spoken utterances and the shared spatiotemporal context in order to acquire a spatially segmented and semantically labeled metrical-topological representation of the environment. The described tour-taking capability enables scalable deployment of mobile robots into human-occupied environments, and natural human-robot interaction for commanded mobility. Our primary contributions are an efficient, socially acceptable autonomous tour-following behavior and a tour interpretation algorithm that partitions a map into spaces labeled according to the guide’s utterances. The tour-taking behavior is demonstrated in a multi-floor office building and evaluated by assessing the comfort of the tour guides, and by comparing the robot’s map partitions to those produced by humans. 2011-06-21T19:56:14Z 2011-06-21T19:56:14Z 2011-05 Article http://purl.org/eprint/type/ConferencePaper 2152-4092 1050-4729 Paper WeA103.3 http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/64642 Hemachandra, Sachithra et al.
