| Popis: | Reliable, safe interaction is essential when humans, robots move in close proximity. In this paper, we present a stigmergic approach where humans interact with robots via a smart floor. Stigmergy has been widely studied in robotic systems, however, HRI has thus far not availed itself of stigmergic solutions. We realize a stigmergic medium via RFID tags embedded in the floor,, use these to enable robot navigation, human tracking, as well as the interaction between robots, humans. The proposed method allows to employ robots with minimal sensing, computation capabilities. The approach relies only on the RFID sensors, the information stored in the tags,, no internal map is required for navigation. We design, implement a prototype game which involves a robot, a child moving together in a shared space. The prototype demonstrates that the approach is reliable, adheres to given safety constraints when human, robot are moving within close proximity of each other. |
