Abstract

In this paper a new framework is presented for developing the personal robot being used in home environments. We mainly focus on the system engineering technology such as the modularization and standardization. Effective ways for interfacing among modules are addressed regarding compatibility in hardware and software, and as a result a personal robot platform named DHR I is built. The robot is composed of five modules such as brain, mobile, sensor, vision, and user interface modules. Each module can be easily plugged in the system in a mechanical as well as electrical sense by sharing the communication protocol with IEEE1394 FireWire. &n...
