| Research Abstract |
This research has developed a librarian robot with sleep and wake functions. This robot is equipped with a laser range finder for predicting library users' behaviors, a microphone for conversation with them and a stereo vision. Lots of processes for these several sensors run in parallel in this system and are controlled by our proposed mathematical Activation-Input-Modulation (AIM) model, that can express consciousness states, such as wake or sleep based on detected by the external sensors. When library users are near the librarian robot, it works as a librarian in a waking state. When there is no user, although the robot in a sleep state looks like sleeping, it processes information stored during the wake state.
