영문 초록

  This paper describes a nursing robot system that is called DO-U-MI developed for helping elderly and disabled people. For that purpose, the nursing robot system has a capability to assist elderly and disabled people to move independently in indoor environments such as a unrsing home. It also provides a convenient man - machine interface for easy usage and various entertainment services for users. In human friendly man- machine interface, the nursing robot can detect a human face and localize a sound source with cameras and microphones in order to detect the position of the user for the services. Also the user can use various entertainment services such as music, movie, email by the computer that the robot is equipped with. In this paper, the overall system is introduced and the detailed subsystems and functions are presented.
