The goal of this proposal is to seek funding to extend the functionalities of the robotics hardware in the University of Hertfordshire's (UH) Robot House (RH), creating the Robot House 2.0 - and, importantly, to make it accessible to other research groups. The new robots to be purchased include the multipurpose and modular care-o-bot 4 which can be tailored to individual user needs and assistance scenarios. This will be complemented by less expensive, smaller platforms with more specialised functionalities: the mobile Pepper robot, Turtlebot 2 and Fetch, Sawyer robot, and the Pioneer LX and Kinova arm/manipulator. Those systems are complemented by already existing robotic hardware in the Robot House, including the telepresence Giraff robot. Having a variety of different robotic systems with differing and complementary functionalities will allow a wide range of innovative smart home and robotics research, opening up completely new scenarios and applications areas ranging from smart home and robotics technology to co-worker scenarios, that require either advanced mobility, telepresence, manipulation or communication abilities. Purchasing these new systems will allow other research groups and industry to use the RH2.0 smart home environment for development, testing and evaluation purposes. Our vision is for RH2.0 to become an easily accessible hub for UK universities and industry conducting research into smart home and robotics technology.

这项提案的目标是寻求资金，以扩展赫特福德郡大学(UH)机器人之家(RH)中机器人硬件的功能，创建机器人之家2.0--重要的是，使其他研究小组能够访问它。即将购买的新机器人包括多用途和模块化的CARE-O-BOT 4，可以根据个人用户的需求和援助场景进行定制。除此之外，还将有更便宜、更小、具有更专业功能的平台：移动Pepper机器人、Turtlebot 2和Fetch、Sawyer机器人以及Pioneer LX和Kinova手臂/机械手。这些系统还得到了机器人之家现有的机器人硬件的补充，包括远程呈现吉拉夫机器人。拥有各种不同的机器人系统，具有不同和互补的功能，将允许广泛的创新智能家居和机器人研究，打开从智能家居和机器人技术到同事场景的全新场景和应用领域，这些场景和应用领域需要先进的移动性、远程呈现、操纵或通信能力。购买这些新系统将允许其他研究小组和行业使用RH2.0智能家居环境进行开发、测试和评估。我们的愿景是使RH2.0成为英国大学和行业进行智能家居和机器人技术研究的便捷枢纽。
