[More] Conference Proceedings, Poster and Demo Session at the 35th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI 2012) (September 2012) This paper describes an interactive demonstration by the AllemaniACs’ domestic service robot Caesar. In a home-like environment Caesar’s task is to help setting the table. Besides basic capabilities of an autonomous mobile robot it uses methods for human-robot interaction and it also has a sophisticated high-level control that allows for decision-theoretic planning. We use this demo to illustrate the interplay of several modules of our robot control software in carrying out complex tasks. The overall system allows to perform robust reliable service robotics in domestic settings like in the RoboCup@Home league. Also, we show how our high-level programming language provides a powerful framework for agent behavior specification that can be beneficially deployed for service robotic applications. The system was showcased repeatedly, most notably at a national RoboCup competition and at an international conference. (via ) [Less]

[More] German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI 2012) (September 2012) In this paper we report on an interactive game with two robots and review its components. A human user uses his torso move- ments to steer a Robotino robot along a pre-defined course. Our domestic service robot Caesar acts as a referee and autonomously follows the Robotino and makes sure that it stays within a corridor along the path. If the user manages to keep the Robotino within the corridor for the whole path he wins. The game can be used, for example, to engage people in physical training such as a rehabilitation after an injury. It was designed and implemented as a student project in winter term 2011/2012.
