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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

=== Description ===<br />
Considering making a robot that can move in a home environment, filled with all kinds of obstacles, requires particular locomotion capabilities. A mobile robotic toy for toddlers would have to move around other toys and objects, and be able to sustain rough interplay situations. Encapsulating the robot inside a sphere and using this sphere to make the robot move around in the environment is one solution. The robot, being spherical, can navigate smoothly through obstacles, and create simple and appealing interactions with toddlers. The encapsulating shell of the robot helps protect its fragile electronics. Roball's second prototype was specifically developed to be a toy and used to study interactions between a robot and toddlers using quantitative and qualitative evaluation techniques. Observations confirm that Roball's physical structure and locomotion dynamics generate interest and various interplay situations influenced by environmental settings and the child's personality. Roball is currently being used to see how child interaction can be perceived directly from onboard navigation sensors.<br />

== Johnny-jr, a humanoïde robot ==<br />
<br />
Johnny-jr is an interactive robot based on multiples projects ([[ADE]], [[AUDIBLE]], [[AZIMUT]], [[HBBA]]).<br />
The robot has different sensors principally to detect human presence.<br />
* Laser range detects legs of people<br />
* Kinect gives the persons locations in the scene<br />
* Head camera detects faces<br />
* Microphones array localizes sound sources<br />
<br />
Johnny-jr can also interact with human in different manners.<br />
* Voice<br />
* Facial emotions<br />
* Head movements<br />
* Arm gestures<br />
* Base mobility<br />
<br />
== Evaluation of interaction ==<br />
<br />
This project is part of preliminary test for [[UltimateRobot|Johnny 0]]. An automated scenario is used to evaluated people reactions to different behavior of the robot.<br />

=== Description ===<br />
Considering making a robot that can move in a home environment, filled with all kinds of obstacles, requires particular locomotion capabilities. A mobile robotic toy for toddlers would have to move around other toys and objects, and be able to sustain rough interplay situations. Encapsulating the robot inside a sphere and using this sphere to make the robot move around in the environment is one solution. The robot, being spherical, can navigate smoothly through obstacles, and create simple and appealing interactions with toddlers. The encapsulating shell of the robot helps protect its fragile electronics. Roball's second prototype was specifically developed to be a toy and used to study interactions between a robot and toddlers using quantitative and qualitative evaluation techniques. Observations confirm that Roball's physical structure and locomotion dynamics generate interest and various interplay situations influenced by environmental settings and the child's personality. Roball is currently being used to see how child interaction can be perceived directly from onboard navigation sensors.<br />

=== Description ===<br />
Considering making a robot that can move in a home environment, filled with all kinds of obstacles, requires particular locomotion capabilities. A mobile robotic toy for toddlers would have to move around other toys and objects, and be able to sustain rough interplay situations. Encapsulating the robot inside a sphere and using this sphere to make the robot move around in the environment is one solution. The robot, being spherical, can navigate smoothly through obstacles, and create simple and appealing interactions with toddlers. The encapsulating shell of the robot helps protect its fragile electronics. Roball's second prototype was specifically developed to be a toy and used to study interactions between a robot and toddlers using quantitative and qualitative evaluation techniques. Observations confirm that Roball's physical structure and locomotion dynamics generate interest and various interplay situations influenced by environmental settings and the child's personality. Roball is currently being used to see how child interaction can be perceived directly from onboard navigation sensors.<br />

== Description ==<br />
Considering making a robot that can move in a home environment, filled with all kinds of obstacles, requires particular locomotion capabilities. A mobile robotic toy for toddlers would have to move around other toys and objects, and be able to sustain rough interplay situations. Encapsulating the robot inside a sphere and using this sphere to make the robot move around in the environment is one solution. The robot, being spherical, can navigate smoothly through obstacles, and create simple and appealing interactions with toddlers. The encapsulating shell of the robot helps protect its fragile electronics. Roball's second prototype was specifically developed to be a toy and used to study interactions between a robot and toddlers using quantitative and qualitative evaluation techniques. Observations confirm that Roball's physical structure and locomotion dynamics generate interest and various interplay situations influenced by environmental settings and the child's personality. Roball is currently being used to see how child interaction can be perceived directly from onboard navigation sensors.<br />

=== Description === <br />
Considering making a robot that can move in a home environment, filled with all kinds of obstacles, requires particular locomotion capabilities. A mobile robotic toy for toddlers would have to move around other toys and objects, and be able to sustain rough interplay situations. Encapsulating the robot inside a sphere and using this sphere to make the robot move around in the environment is one solution. The robot, being spherical, can navigate smoothly through obstacles, and create simple and appealing interactions with toddlers. The encapsulating shell of the robot helps protect its fragile electronics. Roball's second prototype was specifically developed to be a toy and used to study interactions between a robot and toddlers using quantitative and qualitative evaluation techniques. Observations confirm that Roball's physical structure and locomotion dynamics generate interest and various interplay situations influenced by environmental settings and the child's personality. Roball is currently being used to see how child interaction can be perceived directly from onboard navigation sensors.<br />

Considering making a robot that can move in a home environment, filled with all kinds of obstacles, requires particular locomotion capabilities. A mobile robotic toy for toddlers would have to move around other toys and objects, and be able to sustain rough interplay situations. Encapsulating the robot inside a sphere and using this sphere to make the robot move around in the environment is one solution. The robot, being spherical, can navigate smoothly through obstacles, and create simple and appealing interactions with toddlers. The encapsulating shell of the robot helps protect its fragile electronics. Roball's second prototype was specifically developed to be a toy and used to study interactions between a robot and toddlers using quantitative and qualitative evaluation techniques. Observations confirm that Roball's physical structure and locomotion dynamics generate interest and various interplay situations influenced by environmental settings and the child's personality. Roball is currently being used to see how child interaction can be perceived directly from onboard navigation sensors.<br />
