Research Abstract

We create a system that supports domestic robots for performing household tasks by utilizing a crowdsourcing. We consider that this makes it easy to create maps of a house, detect a location of an object, and perform a complex task by utilizing the crowdsourcing. On the other hand, there are some concerns to use the crowdsourcing services, such as 1) real-time operation, 2) privacy issue, and 3) designing an appropriate user interface. In this research, we created a proof-of-concept prototype system and conducted an experiment to investigate the appropriateness of the system.
