Abstract

Nowadays robots can recognize their environment in a limited way. Future robots designed for operations in a natural environment and for communicating with humans in a natural way must understand the goals a user wants to be met, navigate in a natural environment and develop a strategy to achieve the goals.

By means of intelligent sensors for speech recognition, proximity measurement, colour measurement and image processing an intelligent robot has been developed. The robot understands the name of an object a user has told the robot to take and searches for it by means of a smart camera and other sensors. After it has found and identified the object, it grabs it and brings it to the user.
