Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a robot to interact with a human being.SOLUTION: A mobile robot 10 as a guest for interacting with a human resident performs a room-traversing search procedure prior to interacting with the resident, and may verbally query whether the resident being sought is present. Upon finding the resident, the mobile robot may practice a teleconferencing session with a remote third party, or interact with the resident in a number of ways. For example, the robot may carry out a dialogue with the resident, and reinforce compliance with medication or other schedules. In addition, the robot incorporates safety features for preventing collisions with the resident, and the robot may audibly announce and/or visibly indicate its presence in order to avoid becoming a dangerous obstacle. Furthermore, the mobile robot behaves in accordance with an integral privacy policy, such that any sensor recording and transmission must be approved by the resident.
