Projects

Auto Coffee Machine Robot: This project aims to build a coffee machine robot that can provide guests with a cup of coffee in three steps: (i) identifying and greeting a newly arrived guest through a screen; (ii) recommending a type of coffee after chatting with the guest; and (iii) notifying the guest to pick up the coffee when it is ready. My responsibility in this project was to develop the module that enables the robot to engage in chit-chat with users in step (ii).   • Demo Video • Overview Figure
