[[File:Johnny_jr.JPG|thumb|200px]]

== Johnny Jr, A Humanoid Robot ==

Johnny Jr is an interactive robot based on multiple projects ([[ADE]], [[AUDIBLE]], [[AZIMUT]], [[HBBA]]).
The robot has different sensors principally configured for human presence detection. For instance, we use :

* A laser range detector (Hokuyo UTM-30LX) for people's legs on 180 degrees
* A Microsoft Kinect that locates in 3D up to four people in front of the robot
* An head-mounted camera that detects faces
* An 8 microphones array that localizes sound sources

Johnny Jr can also interact with human in different manners, including:

* Voice
* Facial expressions
* Head movements
* Arm gestures
* Base mobility

== Interaction Evaluation ==

This project is part of preliminary test for [[UltimateRobot|Johnny 0]]. An automated, fully autonomous scenario is used to evaluated people reactions to different behaviors of the robot.

Spartacus is our the robotic platform designed for autonomous high-level interaction with people in real life settings. The robot built is equipped with a SICK LMS200 laser range finder, Sony SNC-RZ30N 25X pan-tilt-zoom color camera, an array of eight microphones placed in the robot's body, a touch screen interface, an audio system, one on-board computer and two laptop computers. Numerous algorithms are integrated to provide Spartacus with autonomous decision-making capabilities. MARIE (Mobile and Autonomous Robot Integrated Environment) is our middleware programming environment allowing to link multiple software packages such as Player/Stage/Gazebo, Carmen, pmap, RobotFlow/FlowDesigner, Nuance, Festival, OpenCV, etc. Algorithms to read messages and to follow people are used by Spartacus to interact with people. An artificial audition system makes it capable of simultaneously localizing and tracking sound sources in (cocktail effect conditions). The system can also separate sound sources in real time in order to process communicated information from different interlocutors. Autonomous use of these capabilities is done using a computational architecture based on the notion of motivated selection of behavior-producing modules, planning and managing the robot’s resources. The general idea is to have different motivational sources such as perceptual influences, pre-determined scenarios, navigation algorithms, a planner and alike, share knowledge about how to activate and use behavior-producing modules. Distributing motivational sources allows exploiting more efficiently the strengths of various influences regarding the tasks the robot must accomplish, while not having to rely on only one of them for the robot to work.

Spartacus demonstrates unprecedented capabilities by simultaneously localizing and tracking sound sources (a patent is pending on this technology) as for separating them in noisy and reverberant conditions. Our entry also added autonomous navigation capabilities, planning and scheduling, interacting with people through speech. No robot has yet demonstrated this level of integration for operation in real life settings.

== Johnny Jr, A Humanoid Robot ==

Johnny Jr is an interactive robot based on multiple projects ([[ADE]], [[AUDIBLE]], [[AZIMUT]], [[HBBA]]).
The robot has different sensors principally configured for human presence detection. For instance, we use :

* A laser range detector (Hokuyo UTM-30LX) for people's legs on 180 degrees
* A Microsoft Kinect that locates in 3D up to four people in front of the robot
* An head-mounted camera that detects faces
* An 8 microphones array that localizes sound sources

Johnny Jr can also interact with human in different manners, including:

* Voice
* Facial expressions
* Head movements
* Arm gestures
* Base mobility

== Evaluation of interaction ==

This project is part of preliminary test for [[UltimateRobot|Johnny 0]]. An automated, fully autonomous scenario is used to evaluated people reactions to different behaviors of the robot.
