Brain Flow in Application for New Robotic POLIMI Platform

Abstract

This paper deals with Locobot and Polimi Platform, a new robotic platform, able to interpret the actions of the persons operating in its environment. It uses not a deterministic logic, as usually in industrial and not industrial robotics. It adopts a structuralistic logic, where reality experience is executed with the personal structure, which is different from person to person. Polimi Platform uses nodes structures, with a total participation of all sensors and actuators. Application and realization is reported here, in its first phase. Polimi—Platform is the development of one of the first voice controlled robots, called Gilberto, in 1981 (see Refs. [1], [2]), after that LOCOBOT European Union Project, (see Ref. [3]) proposed an intelligent Platform, performed in the applicative results. Locobot means LowCost Robot and the platform performed in Politecnico di Milan had practical demonstrations on 14th March 2013 and July 2013 in AUDI Co., Partner in the Project. Now Polimi—Platform is a subsequent development, after 1st August 2013, for increasing a new type of intelligence in the system, substantially in the platform, which is equipped with a new nano microphone system for high level performances and new logical and emotional software to have the participation and cooperation of the worker(s) with the robotic system.
