Interactive Robot for Reception and Medical Care (Project RIGGU)

RIGGU is a Semi Humanoid Interactive bot which is developed for different applications such as hospitality, treating autism, assisting aged people, etc. Semi-Humanoid robots are being widely used in applications ranging from household to commercial purposes. This paper discusses about development of a semi-humanoid robot platform for speech and image recognition, navigation based on Robot Operating System (ROS) which allows the users to interface the robot developed to add extra peripherals which further gives the scope for development. RIGGU is integrated with features such as speech recognition and synthesis, facial and object recognition and navigation.
