A Human-Friendly Communication Robot for Public Service Based on iBeacon Technology

This paper described a view about using human-friendly communication robots in service-centric systems. However, the complete interaction between robots and human is extremely complicated. In this study, we focus on how to use human-friendly communication robots to improve human interaction, when people communicate with robots for the first time. Two people who speak different languages are often inefficient and misunderstood when communicating. Especially when traveling abroad or exhibiting, language barriers will reduce people's enthusiasm. We suggest to using human-friendly communication robot to automatically communicate with people in the language that the people are familiar with in order to bring more motion and satisfaction to people. In this paper, we proposed a method for human-friendly communication robot to identify the user information with utilizing iBeacon device. We introduced our communication robot, and then we made a preliminary experiment in our laboratory. We summarized the experimental setup and discussed the experimental results, then described our future work on this project.
