PROJECT SYNOPSIS

The goal of the project is the creation of a robotic platform capable of managing the tasks related to the management of a bar counter in its multiple aspects of interaction, manipulation, and personalization of the offered services. To this end, the robotic system will be created to automate the manufacturing processes, but also to dynamically manage the interaction with the human customers, so creating a system that is easy and pleasant to use. The robot will be able to perform two simultaneous manipulation tasks, dynamically selected. Issues related to the modeling of the interaction between the user and robotic bartender in terms of personalization of the interaction for an effective and long-lasting use of the offered services will be addressed. Interaction with the robot will also take place through a remote-control mode to program the robot for a new task or help it to cinematically reconfigure itself from a failure situation.
