Abstract

This article presents an example of human-robot interaction, and robot-robot interaction in detailed steps using a new platform called RemoRobo. Sending commands and messages between heterogeneous robots is challenging because of different manufacturers standard and platforms. Some hardware and software are limited and not extendable on mobile robots. One example is a small humanoid robot called NAO by Softbank which does not come with interactive screen. Moreover, the onboard built-in camera is not of high resolution and suffers some refresh rate issue. One may wish to extend the capability of NAO for better capability performance by using external peripheral microcomputer such as Raspberry Pi and socket programming. This allows us to extend the capabilities in context of human-robot and robot-robot interaction. The improvement on both the hardware and software can be realised through this approach presented in this paper. In this paper, a new practical example comprised of NAO robot controlling and interacting with other human-robot-interaction device (touch-screen display) is practically demonstrated.
