Echord Monitoring Public Summary on October, November 2011

InterAID experiment has achieved all the objectives of the planned activities. Nevertheless the experiment has been extended accordingly with the EU Commission (Amendment III) in order to better test the solution and to implement/improve some features requested from the users during the field tests.

In this two-month period, the following activities have been performed:

• Data base integration: after each inspection the robot sends the data acquired to a server pc where they are stored in a data base. A graphical user interface permits to search, extract and visualize the data.
• Improvement of the platform control algorithms: the washing machine detection algorithm, that permits to the robot to properly move in front of the washing machine, has been modified adding additional processing steps for filtering the laser data and supplementary controls to avoid “false detections” or wrong identifications.
