Purpose and goal
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The aim of the project is to increase quality of life in an area by finding an alternative way to handle garbage without heavy trucks. The aims of the project are to: 1. Testing a waste collection system based on service robots 2. Evaluate the efficiency of the robotic waste collection system. 3. Analyze the legal and regulatory framework for using robots in public places. 4. Explore other potential uses for service robots in the city as well as data usage based on resident/target group needs
Expected results and effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** In the project, we will develop a robot that can pick up trash cans in regular waste rooms and deliver them to a collection point. The robot is first tested in a test environment and then under real conditions. An analysis of the legal framework around service robots. Evaluation and analysis of the system, including other areas of use for service robots in the city.
Planned approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Development of robot for waste collection in Oceanhamnen. Test phase including comprehensive evaluation of the robot in test area Rigorous tests under real conditions monitoring and control of the robot´s behavior Evaluation of test results Evaluation of the current infrastructure of the urban environment in Oceanhamnen with a reference group of residents and other actors in the area Possible necessary modifications or adjustments are made to the robots
