    RoboStudio: A visual programming environment for rapid authoring and customization of complex services on a personal service robot
    (IEEE, 2012-10-07) Datta, C; Jayawardena, C; Kuo, I. H; MacDonald, B. A
    Service robots for personal and domestic use are increasingly gaining momentum. Easy and efficient programming of such robots is an enormous research and commercial space that is beginning to be explored. In this paper, we present RoboStudio, a Visual Programming Environment (VPE) to program the interactive behavior of personal service robots. RoboStudio lies at the intersection of VPEs which aid in authoring the robot user interface and control logic. A novel contribution of this work is that it advances the research in authoring service applications on robotic platforms, specially for researchers who do development in decentralized multidisciplinary teams and validate their research goals through field trials. Furthermore, service robot programming environments is a novel area of research, particularly when it comes to expressing what the robot does in a declarative syntax.

    Deployment of a service robot to help older people
    (IEEE, 2010-10-18) Jayawardena, C; Kuo, I. H; Unger, U; Igic, A; Wong, R; Watson, C.I; Stafford, R.Q; Broadbent, E; Tiwari, P; Warren, J; Sohn, J; MacDonald, B.A
    This paper presents the first version of a mobile service robot designed for older people. Six service application modules were developed with the key objective being successful interaction between the robot and the older people. A series of trials were conducted in an independent living facility at a retirement village, with the participation of 32 residents and 21 staff. In this paper, challenges of deploying the robot and lessons learned are discussed. Results show that the robot could successfully interact with people and gain their acceptance.
