This paper presents the technical description, mechanical design, electronic components,
software implementation and possible applications of a tele-operated mobile robot designed as
an assisted living tool. This robotic concept has been named Assistant Personal Robot (or APR
for short) and has been designed as a remotely telecontrolled robotic platform built to provide
social and assistive services to elderly people and those with impaired mobility. The APR
features a fast high-mobility motion system adapted for tele-operation in plain indoor areas, which
incorporates a high-priority collision avoidance procedure. This paper presents the mechanical
architecture, electrical fundaments and software implementation required in order to develop the
main functionalities of an assistive robot. The APR uses a tablet in order to implement the basic
peer-to-peer videoconference and tele-operation control combined with a tactile graphic user interface.
The paper also presents the development of some applications proposed in the framework of an
assisted living robot. |
