Abstract
This thesis describes the development of a mobile robot research platform (Roberto) designed for use in developing LIDAR, vision, and other sensor-based mapping and localization systems, path planning and steering systems, and emotive human-robot interaction systems. The platform has been designed to allow for flexibility and extensibility while assuring safety and stability. The ROS open source library has been utilized to leverage middleware solutions common to many problems in robotics. This platform has been demonstrated to have the capability to operate safely around humans in a dynamic and unmodified environment, giving tours of the Glennan building at Case Western Reserve University. This platform allows for teleoperation as well as full autonomous functionality.
