Abstract

To be useful in a home environment, an assistive robot needsto be capable of a broad range of interactive activities such as locat-ing ob jects, following specific people, and distinguishing among differ-ent people. This paper presents a Segway-based robot that successfullyperformed all of these tasks en route to a second place finish in theRoboCup@Home 2007 competition. The main contribution is a com-plete description and analysis of the robot system and its implementedalgorithms that enabled the robot's successful human-robot interactionin this broad and challenging forum. We describe in detail a novel per-son recognition algorithm, a key component of our overall success, thatincluded two co-trained classifiers, each focusing on different aspects ofthe person (face and shirt color).
