Implementation of an interactive mobile robot over mixed reality

This paper presents a interactive mobile robot. The proposed mobile robot is implemented under the technique of mixed reality. The mixed reality technique is implemented by both the Virtools tool and mobile robot. There are three basic interactive behaviors of human beings have been implemented on this proposed mobile robot. There are target navigation behavior, face tracking behavior, and obstacles avoidance behavior; the three behaviors are designed by the fuzzy rules, respectively. The virtual reality environment is used to implement the arbitrator of the behaviors and to choose the behavior rules for dynamic environment changing. Experiments show that the proposed behaviors are well designed. The proposed robot system and control rules are been conducted in good performance and good reliabilities.
