Robots have a continuous increasingly role in today's society as they have stepped in the human environment in order to better fulfil demanding and complex tasks. A novel mobile robot system based on ubiquitous computing technologies is proposed to address two fundamental problems in the field of robotics, i.e. the interaction between human and robot and navigation in the workspace environment. A preliminary test scenario shows a friendly, portable and universal robot system which combines the advantages of ubiquitous computing and of efficient interaction and navigation algorithms based on artificial intelligent methods.

“…Timeline based animation techniques support easy editing methods [4]. But some robot platforms do not afford such tracking equipments or large displays [11]. Researchers in HCI and HRI have shown multimodal interface styles such as direct manipulation with/without kinetic memory [8][23], audio-driven methods [21], vision-based control [15], and the Program by Demonstration [1] with mathematical models as possible methods for incremental refinement [5] [9].…”

Telepresence is an emerging market for everyday robotics, while limitations still exist for such robots to be widely used for ordinary people's social communication. In this paper, we present our iterative design approach toward an interactive bidirectional robot intermediaries along with application ideas and design considerations. This study also surveys recent efforts in HCI and HRI that augment multimodal interfaces for computer mediated communication. We conclude by discussing the key lessons we found useful from the system design. The findings for bidirectional telepresence robot interfaces are of: synchronicity, robot's role, intelligence, personalization, and personality construction method.

Abstract-This paper describes an interactive social agent platform which examines anthropomorphic robot features in the mobile phone usage context. Our system is smart phone based robot agent that operates on a mobile network and co-located adhoc networks. It helps remote users communicate interactively with each other through the robotic interface which utilizes facial expressions and body gestures. In this paper, we introduce the mobile environment as a service platform for social robots, and discuss design considerations for such a communication system. Then we illustrate the development of our system followed by its network protocols built on existing mobile services such as Telephony and Short Messaging Service (SMS). Usage scenarios and working prototypes of the implemented system are also presented. We are hopeful that our research will open a new discussion on socially interactive robot platforms, and thus, that such efforts will enrich the telecommunication and personal robot services in the near future.
