- 研究成果概要
- The existing two robots SanTO and DarumaTO-2 have limited functionalities in terms of hardware and software.The most critical part is the communication with the user, as Daruma-TO2 is not sensing the user, and SanTO, while it has a camera to recognise user's position, does not have any knowledge to understand the context.The development in FY2021 took place in two directions.Hardware of Daruma-TO was improved and touch sensors were integrated, making it capable of moving left/right and following simple vocal commands. SanTO external appearance was revised and the candle that will become a separate "personal device" was also separated from the whole robot base and re-sketched. In the future work, it will be 3D printed.Software was also developed in collaboration with researchers from Peru, who took part in the previous development of SanTO. A particular effort was made to ensure a safe protocol of communication between the user interface and the contents of the robot. In the future work, this communication code will be integrated with the 3D printed device.
