Human Clustering for a Partner Robot Based on Computational Intelligence

This paper proposes computational intelligence for a perceptual system of a partner robot. The robot requires the capability of visual perception to interact with a human. Basically, a robot should perform moving object extraction, clustering, and classification for visual perception used in the interaction with human. In this paper, we propose a total system for human clustering for a partner robot by using long-term memory, k-means, self-organizing map and fuzzy controller is used for the motion output. The experimental results show that the partner robot can perform the human clustering.
