Arquitetura Erika: Aplicação em uma Cadeira de Rodas com Navegação e Reconhecimento Social por Meio de um Chatbot

Abstract

The coexistence of service robots in social media has intensified, making human- robot interaction increasingly fluid and necessary. In this context, the present work aims to apply an architecture called Erika responsible for integrating a chatbot that interacts by voice and text command with the autonomous navigation of a wheelchair, which respects social restrictions based on the proxemics zones. An Application Programming Interface is responsible for connecting the chatbot with a web application that communicates with Robot Operating System. The results found demonstrate that the wheelchair can respond to the commands provided by the chatbot, so that, finally, it can trigger autonomous or manual navigation, when necessary.
