MuMMER （MultiModal Mall Entertainment Robot）是欧盟资助的一个为期四年的项目，其总体目标是开发一种具有社交智能的人形机器人（软银机器人公司的Pepper机器人是主要的机器人平台），能够在公共购物中心的动态环境中自主自然地互动，为公众提供引人入胜的娱乐体验。使用协同设计方法，我们将与包括客户、零售商和业务经理在内的利益相关者合作，开发真正引人入胜的机器人行为。至关重要的是，我们的机器人将通过将基于语音的交互与非语言交流和人类感知导航相结合，展示出适合社交的、引人入胜的行为。为了支持这种行为，我们将从视听场景处理、社会信号处理、高级动作选择和人类感知机器人导航等方面开发和整合新的方法。在整个项目中，机器人将定期部署在芬兰的大型公共购物中心Ideapark。本意见书描述了MuMMER项目：它的需求、目标、研发挑战和我们的方法。它将作为机器人社区和利益相关者关于这个雄心勃勃的项目的参考，展示协同设计方法如何解决一些障碍并帮助建立后续项目。
MuMMER (MultiModal Mall Entertainment Robot) is a four-year, EU-funded project with the overall goal of developing a humanoid robot (SoftBank Robotics’ Pepper robot being the primary robot platform) with the social intelligence to interact autonomously and naturally in the dynamic environments of a public shopping mall, providing an engaging and entertaining experience to the general public. Using co-design methods, we will work together with stakeholders including customers, retailers, and business managers to develop truly engaging robot behaviours. Crucially, our robot will exhibit behaviour that is socially appropriate and engaging by combining speech-based interaction with non-verbal communication and human-aware navigation. To support this behaviour, we will develop and integrate new methods from audiovisual scene processing, social-signal processing, high-level action selection, and human-aware robot navigation. Throughout the project, the robot will be regularly deployed in Ideapark, a large public shopping mall in Finland. This position paper describes the MuMMER project: its needs, the objectives, R&D challenges and our approach. It will serve as reference for the robotics community and stakeholders about this ambitious project, demonstrating how a co-design approach can address some of the barriers and help in building follow-up projects.
