Abstract

In this paper we present the design and development of the social robot called iSocioBot,
which is designed to achieve long-term interaction between humans and robots in a social
context. iSocioBot is 149cm tall and the mechanical body is built on top of the TurtleBot platform
and designed to make people feel comfortable in its presence. All electrical components are standard
off-the-shelf commercial products making a replication possible. Furthermore, the software is
based on Robot Operating Software (ROS) and is made freely available.We present our experience
with the design and discuss possible improvements.
