Remote Multi-robot Cooperation for Human-robot Communication in Community-centric Systems

This paper described a view about using remote robots in Community-centric Systems. However, the interaction of a complete community is extremely complicated. In this study, we focus on single part of case in the community: In community, people have same hobby are likely to play and discuss together. But people who have uncommon hobbies are difficulty finding a comrade. We suggest to using partner robot to accompany people in playing "Go" game in order to bring more motion and satisfaction to users. It is supposed this problem is similar to the "collaborative distance learning". In this paper, we introduced our "Go" partner robot, and then we made a preliminary experiment and tested the system with 2 professional "Go" players. We discussed about the experiment result, and then described our future work about the project.
