Intelligent Hotel ROS-based Service Robot
This addresses hotel automation for labor reduction, but it is incremental as it applies existing robotics components to a specific domain.
The paper tackled automating hotel check-in by developing a ROS-based service robot that uses a Pioneer 3dx platform with Hokuyo Lidar and Kinect Xbox camera for route planning across floors, and includes an intelligent voice system for customer assistance.
With the advances of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, many studies and work have been carried out on how robots could replace human labor. In this paper, we present a ROS based intelligence hotel robot, which simplifies the check-in process. We use pioneer 3dx robot and considered different environment settings. The robot combined with Hokuyo Lidar and Kinect Xbox camera, can plan the routes accurately and reach rooms in different floors. In addition, we added an intelligent voice system which provides an assistant for the customers.
