KeJia: towards an autonomous service robot with tolerance of unexpected environmental changes

Abstract: KeJia is a domestic service robot, consisting of a mobile base, an arm, two cameras, and a set of software components for perception, manipulation, natural language understanding, motion and task planning, and decision making. With on-line running of these functions, a robot can adapt to dynamic environments which may have unexpected changes. In this paper, we propose a novel hierarchical method which combines motion planning with a neural network, so that the robot can tolerate errors from sensors, wear of parts, and human disturbances during motion execution. We evaluate our work on KeJia that cooks popcorn using a microwave oven, where humans try to disturb KeJia during the operation.

Key words: Robot, Task planning, Manipulation

Chinese Summary  <32> 可佳:一种容忍环境变化的自助服务机器人

摘要:可佳是一个家庭服务机器人。硬件结构由一个可移动底盘、一个机械臂、两个相机构成;软件系统包括6个模块:感知、物体操纵、自然语言理解、运动规划、任务规划和整合决策。通过在线运行这些模块,机器人能够适应不可预知的动态环境。提出一个分层方法,将运动规划结果和神经网络结合,让机器人在执行动作时能够容忍传感器、齿轮间隙和人工干预造成的误差。在可佳机器人上验证了该方法,并让可佳在不断人为干扰下成功操纵微波炉烹饪爆米花。
