Social Assistive Robots, which offer help and support to people with special needs (e.g. the elderly or people with physical disabilities), are an answer to an ever growing necessity within a society that promotes a healthy and cared for life. Social robots, able to interact with customers in stores, are increasingly appreciated by companies, providing customers with an exciting and personalized experience. The basic challenges faced by such robots in terms of existing software are related to: the ability to draw bearings and navigate in unknown, dynamic and \/ or populated environments, the ability to identify the person they interact with (computer vision, speaker identification, etc.) in the context of dealing with a group of people and ambient noise, interacting with users in natural language, as well as adaptation to people with special needs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]\n<div tabindex=\"0\" id=\"interactive-banner-1-wrap-6138\" class=\"ult-banner-block ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-bb-box  banner-style01 \"   style=\"\">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aimas.cs.pub.ro\/robin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RobinSocial.png\" alt=\"null\">\n\t<h3  data-ultimate-target='#interactive-banner-1-wrap-6138 .bb-top-title '  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  class=\"title-center bb-top-title ult-responsive\" style=\"font-weight:normal;background:#5aa1e3;color:#ffffff;\">Visit the Component Project Website<\/h3>\n\t<div class=\"mask opaque-background\" style=\"background:rgba(90,161,227,0.75);\">\n\t\t<div class=\"bb-back-icon\"><i class=\"icomoon-icomoonfree-16x16-sphere\" style=\"color:#ffffff\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t<p class=\"\" style=\"font-weight:normal;color:#ffffff;\">Visit the ROBIN-Social<br \/>\nProject Website<\/p>\n\t<\/div><a class=\"bb-link\" href=\"http:\/\/aimas.cs.pub.ro\/robin\/social\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" ><\/a>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a436c6462dad\" data-id=\"6a436c6462dad\" data-height=\"1\" data-height-mobile=\"1\" data-height-tab=\"1\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; bg_type=&#8221;bg_color&#8221; bg_color_value=&#8221;#f3f3f3&#8243; el_id=&#8221;objectives&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-36556a436c6462df2\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-36556a436c6462df2 uvc-2674 \" data-hspacer=\"line_only\"  data-halign=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-36556a436c6462df2 h2'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"desktop:26px;\",\"line-height\":\"desktop:36px;\"}' ><h2 style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#329bd2;\">OBJECTIVES<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer line_only\" style=\"margin-bottom:30px;height:3px;\"><span class=\"uvc-headings-line\" style=\"border-style:solid;border-bottom-width:3px;border-color:#329bd2;width:120px;\"><\/span><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;introtextcl&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1544793265409{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The goal of the ROBIN-Social project<\/strong> is to develop an integrated and easily configurable solution for the personalization of social assistive robots, for individuals with special needs, as well as for groups of users (e.g. customers of a store, visitors of an exhibition). The solution is based on advanced artificial intelligence techniques that lead to cognitive and autonomous robots. It aims to overcome existing limitations in commercial robots (humanoid or semi-humanoid ones) and customize them for specific applications. To achieve this, the project makes use of robust Machine Learning algorithms and techniques for Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing (NLP &#8211; both language understanding as well as generation). It further uses algorithms running on the robot (e.g. SLAM, person recognition) with data collected from IoT devices, but also retrieved from Cloud-Robotics platforms. The project also includes solutions based on telepresence mobile robots (significantly cheaper than robots with humanoid features) but which at present have no autonomous character.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The specific objectives of the project are<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gap=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"standard-arrow bullet-top\"><ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Creating a platform for the development of robotic applications for different models of humanoid or telepresence robots.
