Humanoid Robots Using Elevators

Published:

Overview

Elevators are essential to indoor spaces in most office building and pose an interesting problem for robotics. Elevators are usually crowded and require a large amount of social understanding to navigate along with humans. We main to make humanoid robots take elevators in indoor spaces efficiently, in both functional and interactive axes. We aim that the robot be able traverse large floor distances efficiently without wasting energy and time at the staircase. At the same time, we develop a systems that allow the robot to travel with humans while keeping its distance and not compromising on its objective.

Human detection.

More coming soon.
