Abstract

Personal robot is a new technological solution where various IoT machines collaborate and provide new type of services. In this research, we develop a cloud-network based personal robot platform technologies, which offer advanced IoT services through its cost-effective strategy. As for the man-machine interaction, two stage dialog system was implemented, i.e. local side and the cloud server side. Also the cloud server has an ability to download various IoT applications. In this study, we tested the proposed system using smartphone as one of the IoT devices using data retrieval application. Our preliminary usability test showed good overall performance, however, we found that the interaction timing needs to be improved.
