Recent studies in social robotics show that it can provide economic efficiency and growth in domains such as retail, entertainment, and active and assisted living (AAL). Recent work also highlights that users have the expectation of affordable social robotics platforms, providing focused and specific assistance in a robust manner. In this paper, we present the AMIRO social robotics framework, designed in a modular and robust way for assistive care scenarios. The framework includes robotic services for navigation, person detection and recognition, multi-lingual natural language interaction and dialogue management, as well as activity recognition and general behavior composition. We present AMIRO platform independent implementation based on a Robot Operating System (ROS). We focus on quantitative evaluations of each functionality module, providing discussions on their performance in different settings and the possible improvements. We showcase the deployment of the AMIRO framework on a popular social robotics platform—the Pepper robot—and present the experience of developing a complex user interaction scenario, employing all available functionality modules within AMIRO.

En este artículo se presenta el diseño de un sistema heterogéneo cuya finalidad es la de cuidar la salud y el bienestar de las personas mayores que viven solas en su hogar. Se intenta seguir la iniciativa del programa europeo AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) Dicho sistema se encuentra formado por un dispositivo robótico móvil, un conjunto de sensores domóticos de bajo coste, un dispositivo médico tipo pulsera de actividad y una aplicación de Android para el estudio del estado anímico. El sistema ha sido integrado haciendo uso de ROS (Robot Operating System), de tecnologías IoT (Internet of Things) tales como Node-RED y la plataforma domótica Home-Assistant. Este sistema heterogéneo se desarrolla en la actualidad en un proyecto nacional Retos de la Sociedad.

In this paper, we discuss several of major robot/vehicle platforms available and demonstrate the implementation of autonomous techniques on one such platform, the F1/10. Robot Operating System was chosen for its existing collection of software tools, libraries, and simulation environment. We build on the available information for the F1/10 vehicle and illustrate key tools that will help achieve properly functioning hardware. We provide methods to build algorithms and give examples of deploying these algorithms to complete autonomous driving tasks and build 2D maps using SLAM. Finally, we discuss the results of our findings and how they can be improved.

To perform advanced operations with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), it is crucial that components other than the existing ones such as flight controller, network devices, and ground control station (GCS) are also used. The inevitable addition of hardware and software to accomplish UAV operations may lead to security vulnerabilities through various vectors. Hence, we propose a security framework in this study to improve the security of an unmanned aerial system (UAS). The proposed framework operates in the robot operating system (ROS) and is designed to focus on several perspectives, such as overhead arising from additional security elements and security issues essential for flight missions. The UAS is operated in a nonnative and native ROS environment. The performance of the proposed framework in both environments is verified through experiments.
