Abstract
In this paper, we present the design of a social robot, Nancy, which is developed as a platform for engaging social interaction. Targeting for a social, safe, interactive and user-friendly robot mate, the design philosophy of Nancy is presented with mechanical, electrical, artificial skin and software specifications. In particular, there are 32 degrees of freedom (DOFs) through the whole body of Nancy, and the social intelligence is implemented based on vision, audio and control subsystems. © 2011 IEEE.
