Description

This Project is focused on the development of social robots. Several scientific and technological themes of special interest for the development of social robots are investigated. Those themes are, among others, the specific design of this kind of robots, the perception systems, decision-making systems, or the human-robot interaction systems.
The research is carried out on different social robots that will be designed and built by the research group. In this project, the study of the different applications of social robots and their potential users is of great importance. For this reason, the scientific and technological research will be completed by other studies related to the acceptance and the requirements needed for the social robots from different groups of end-users on each application.

The goals of this project are summarized next:

  1. Updating of the current social robots of the group (Maggie et al).
  2. Design and construction of new social robots.
  3. Improvement of the social skills set.
  4. Improvement of the perception systems.
  5. Development of new HRI skills.
  6. Improvement of the autonomy of the robots.
