IURO
IURO (Interactive Urban Robot) – Is a part of the EU-STREP project IURO (Interactive Urban Robot), supported by the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union, ICT Challenge 2 Cognitive Systems and Robotics.
The goal of the project is to develop and implement methods and technologies enabling robots to navigate and interact in densely populated, unknown human-centred environments and retrieve information from human partners in order to achieve a given navigation or interaction goal. Iuro can approach humans and ask them for directions to help it navigate around cities while acting in a “socially acceptable manner,” but at IROS, the robot was randomly (and hilariously) shifting back and forth between expressions of happiness, disgust, and astonishment.
