本論文旨在開發一種創新的機器人,可以在室內和室外環境中全自主的將傳單發送給潛在的客戶。因此本論文目標是設計和開發具有全自主傳單遞送功能的社交互動式機器人。該機器人的設計和開發採用了模組化設計方法,主要包括全自主式傳單遞送模組與移動平台模組。
  傳單遞送模組是一個由許多子模組所構成且構造複雜的內部機構,其子模組包括傳單供給模組、傳單夾取模組、傳單轉送模組和傳單遞送模組等子模組,並透過遞送子模組將傳單遞送至機器人的手掌。機器人同時採用了可替換式的紙匣模塊,能夠容納大小範圍從A5至A7各種尺寸的傳單,並將其有秩序的遞送至機器人手臂上。而機器人手臂在設計上將其配置在能使大多數人都能夠順利取得傳單的高度,包含兒童或是坐在輪椅上的行動不便者皆能順利取得傳單。機器人同時搭載了顯示器模組及音訊播放模組以便與人進行互動,也利用了Kinect感測器進行人體辨識,進而能驅向客戶並與其進行互動。
  機器人的移動平台模組在設計上表現了高穩定性且具有障礙物迴避能力。這個機器人的原型在2016年開發完成,並於2016年在台北舉辦的一些展覽會上進行展示。在展覽會中,它成功的吸引了很多人與其進行互動。同時據觀察,本論文開發的機器人可以如預期中有效地進行傳單遞送服務。因此可以得出結論,指出這種類型的社交互動式服務機器人在智能服務機器人市場中具有巨大潛在機會能夠商品化並投入市場


This thesis aims at developing an innovative robot that can hand flyers to potential customers in a fully autonomous manner in both indoor and outdoor environmental settings. Thus, the work entailed in this thesis targets at designing and developing a socially interactive robot with autonomous flyer delivery function. The design and development of this robot employ a modular design approach wherein the robot comprises an autonomous flyer delivery means and a mobile platform.
The flyer delivery means is an intricate internal mechanism, comprising a flyer feeding, flyer picking, flyer forwarding and flyer conveying sub-module through which the flyer traverses to the robotic palm; a swappable cassette sub-module for stacking flyers of various sizes ranging from A5 to A7 and tissue packs to the robot palm that is configured at a reachable height for most people including kids and disable person on wheelchair; a display and audio sub-module for interacting with people; a Kinect sensor for detecting an approaching person.
The mobile platform module of this robot is also designed for high stability, and with obstacle avoidance capabilities. Finally, a prototype of this robot is developed and displayed on a number of exhibitions held in Taipei, in the year 2016, where it gained significant attention from people who pumped into it. It was observed that the developed robot could provide the flyer delivery service effectively as expected. It can be concluded that this type of socially interactive service robot has a great potential opportunity of becoming a product in intelligent service robot market.
