Intelligent Interactive Robot System for Agricultural Knowledge Popularity and Achievements Display

The development of a guide robot with explanatory features has always been a subject of concern. Most urban populations, especially the youth, have little knowledge about agricultural activities. To address this issue, many exhibition centers featuring the theme of local agriculture were built. These agricultural exhibitions provide opportunities to extend agricultural knowledge to urban communities. However, the exhibition centers also need efficient ways of communication for introducing visitors to the exhibitions' achievements. In this regard, we designed an intelligent interactive robot system. For this purpose, we first collected agricultural knowledge to develop custom database questions and answers and made corresponding images. Then, designed a new interactive way through combining the questions and answers with the image display. Finally, two interactive modules were designed for people of two ages (youth and adults) attending the exhibition. The developed robot system was used in "The first china international smart agriculture achievements exhibition" for the first time. The feedback results showed that the robot system helped the visitors learn more agricultural knowledge. Moreover, this robot system provided a more comprehensive way of understanding the exhibition for the visitors.
