Popis: In this research, we designed multimodal trip support combining autonomous vehicles and autonomous robots. The video introduces a scenario using a prototype of the system which enables a user to request a vehicle ride and service robots at one time. The vehicle takes the user from their location to another building. Robots take the user and their luggage from a vehicle drop-off to a destination in the building. The request is made on their personal device using a web application. In addition to the device, multimodal user interfaces such as robot’s HMIs (human-machine interfaces) are used for user interaction to provide a seamless experience of the trip. Its background system is connected to fleet management systems of vehicles and robots and building facilities, for example elevators and cameras, via network. Providing facility-vehicle and facility-robot interactions, the system supports smooth automatic operations of the vehicle and the robots on the way.
