  1. HERB 1.0 : Home Exploring Robotic Butler Intel & Carnegie Mellon University Presented by Tim Haines

  2. Ideal Uses for Assistive Agent • Assist elderly or disabled • Doing jobs currently done by service animals • Cleaning • Washing Dishes • Laundry • Ironing • Moving heavy objects

  3. Challenges to Operate in a Human Environment • Efficient navigation and mapping • Robust object recognition and pose estimating • Sophisticated trajectory planning • All done in unstructured constantly changing environment

  4. The First Solution!!!

  5. Principles of System Architecture • Unlimited computational power is available • This is achieve by using on board and off board computing • Sensing and planning algorithms should require minimal human input • Allows for the robot to adapt to new environments

  6. Object recognition using sift • Flea- Locating objects • Narrow View, Large depth of field • Dragonfly-Manipulate objects • Wide View, small depth of field

  7. Checkerboard Localization • Found to be better than using the laser • Down side • Slow, taking 10 to 30 sec • Needs at least 3 checkerboards in 1 image • Tried children's drawings, Failed

  8. Navigating using GATMO • Generalized Approach to Tracking Movable Objects • Two part maps • Static • Lists of objects

  9. Classification

  10. Vision

  11. PlanningOpening doors • Planning based on Kinematics, no physics • Often Herbs fingers would jam into the door causing a stall

  12. PlanningManipulating objects • WGR-Workspace Goal Regions • Videos: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsTdFF19fQQ • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEg9ay-Wy-M&feature=related
