Our main GitHub repository pointing to every other repository as submodule is available HERE !

Here are some of the submodules :

  • General Manager : we developed a general orchestrator allowing the robot to coordinate its capacities (navigation, perception, interaction) and make decision on defined scenario.

  • Navigation Manager : this functionality provide a set of navigation strategy depending on the observed context. Regarding to the context (lots of people, complex environment, large free space zone), the robot changes it way of navigation.

  • People Manager : We developed a framework that allows the extraction of high-level person features from a 2D camera in addition to tracking people over time. The proposed people management framework aggregates body and person features including an original pose estimation using only a 2D camera. At this time, people pose and posture, clothing colors, face recognition are combined with tracking and re-identification abilities.

This framework includes the following additional contributions:

  • Face recognition : a solution was developed to automatically catch face and learn it for future detection.
  • Color detection : we extract main colors of a given picture (e.g t-shir, trousers) based on HSV format and K-mean clustering
  • Pose detection : based on the OpenPose data, we build a pose extractor gives us the estimate pose (stand, sit, lying down, left or right arm up,…) and distance estimation
