SummaryIn the present modern age, a robot works like human and is controlled in such a manner that its movements should not create hindrance in human activities. This characteristic involves gesture feat and gesture recognition. This article is aimed to describe the developments in algorithms devised for obstacle avoidance in robot navigation which can open a new horizon for advancement in businesses. For this purpose, our study is focused on gesture recognition to mean socio-technological implication. Literature review on this issue reveals that movement of robots can be made efficient by introducing gesture-based collision avoidance techniques. Experimental results illustrated a high level of robustness and usability of the Gesture recognition (GR) system. The overall error rate is almost 10%. In our subjective judgment, we assume that GR system is very well-suited to instruct a mobile service robot to change its path on the instruction of human.

Mobile Service Robot

Learning from Demonstration (LfD) is a technique for teaching a system through demonstration. In areas like service robotics the robot should be user friendly in terms of coding, so LfD techniques will be of greater advantage in this domain. In this paper two novel approaches, counter based technique and encoder based technique is proposed for teaching a mobile service robot to navigate from one point to another with a novel state based obstacle avoidance technique. The main aim of the work is to develop an LfD Algorithm which is less complex in terms of hardware and software. Both the proposed methods along with obstacle avoidance have been implemented and tested using Player/Stage robotics simulator.

Wheels and legs are two widely accepted methodology used to move the moving platform to the ground. Wheels are human inventions, the rolls in a straight country excel in energy efficiency and speed of movement. Hybrid platform for integrating the benefits of legs and wheels with high mobility of both seems to be the "future" of mobile platforms for indoor and outdoor environment. This paper describes the design leg-wheel chassis for service robot.

The CENTAUROB is a mobile service robot which can operate in unstructured environments while always remain in a statically stable position. The special feature of this system is the use of two Stewart platforms as leg structures, providing high flexibility and maneuverability. By a special foot geometry (shape like a C), it has been possible for the first time to realize a walking biped which can even handle spiral staircases. In this paper, we present a new and advanced prototype of this system.
