Accessibility in transport hubs is indispensable for the upliftment of the social and economic spheres of persons with disabilities. Carla - a smart, autonomous personal assistant is proposed as an affordable solution to impart inclusivity in transport hubs. Carla can serve as a guide to the destination, an information kiosk and a luggage carrier. It is equipped with a rope guide and digital braille to serve people suffering from multi-sensory impairment. Carla can move to a modest push from the user - a novel feature introduced to enhance interaction. The system architecture and algorithm for autonomous navigation are also discussed. Finally, the interaction of Carla in a number of use cases are presented.
期刊介绍:
ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction (THRI) is a prestigious Gold Open Access journal that aspires to lead the field of human-robot interaction as a top-tier, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary publication. The journal prioritizes articles that significantly contribute to the current state of the art, enhance overall knowledge, have a broad appeal, and are accessible to a diverse audience. Submissions are expected to meet a high scholarly standard, and authors are encouraged to ensure their research is well-presented, advancing the understanding of human-robot interaction, adding cutting-edge or general insights to the field, or challenging current perspectives in this research domain.
THRI warmly invites well-crafted paper submissions from a variety of disciplines, encompassing robotics, computer science, engineering, design, and the behavioral and social sciences. The scholarly articles published in THRI may cover a range of topics such as the nature of human interactions with robots and robotic technologies, methods to enhance or enable novel forms of interaction, and the societal or organizational impacts of these interactions. The editorial team is also keen on receiving proposals for special issues that focus on specific technical challenges or that apply human-robot interaction research to further areas like social computing, consumer behavior, health, and education.
