Abstract
This paper describes a radio frequency identification (RFID) and sonar-guided tour guide robot, CATE (Central's Automated Tour Experience). The portable terminal unit is an embedded system equipped with an RFID reader for localization, and sonar and IR sensors for obstacle detection and avoidance. CATE can guide the visitor through a predefined tour of the building, or create a new route on-the-fly. While in predefined tour mode, CATE completes the tour by avoiding obstacles using sonar and infrared sensor input. It will also provide audio and video information through an onboard computer, and can collect feedback from the user through a touch screen display. CATE has been successfully implemented and is under final stages of testing.
本文介绍了一种无线射频识别(RFID)和声纳引导的导游机器人,CATE (Central's Automated tour Experience)。便携式终端单元是一个嵌入式系统,配备用于定位的RFID读取器,以及用于障碍物探测和回避的声纳和红外传感器。CATE可以引导游客通过预定义的建筑之旅,或创建一个新的动态路线。在预设的漫游模式下,CATE利用声纳和红外传感器的输入,避开障碍物,完成漫游。它还将通过机载计算机提供音频和视频信息,并可以通过触摸屏显示器收集用户的反馈。CATE已经成功实施,并处于测试的最后阶段。
