Rolland Autonomous Navigation Assistant
The video shows the Autonomous Navigation Assistant and its integration in the Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab (BAALL). First, the user asks the wheelchair “Please take me to the books”. The wheelchair is autonomously driving there. After the user has taken a cook book off shelf, he asks the wheelchair to take him to the kitchen. While driving there, the electric doors open automatically and the kitchen counter moves to an appropriate height such that the wheelchair fits underneath. Finally the user lowers a kitchen cupboard by pressing a button in the kitchen counter, opens the cupboard, and removes a plate. Afterwards, he decides to move the cupboard back up using a speech command (his hands are full).

The user may query information about the exhibitors in hall 9 of CeBIT and define a navigation route. Afterwards, the wheelchair follows this route automatically. At the end of the route, the wheelchair provides the option to return to the expostion of the DFKI.
