Abstract

Two humanoid robots are developed. Both robots are human-like in appearance though one is more human-like than the other. A virtual human with human-like appearance is also developed. Various similar functionalities and interaction modalities for the robots and the virtual human are developed. Various technologies are incorporated with them to make them intelligent and autonomous. A common platform in the form of an internet of things (IoT) is developed that can integrate the robots and the virtual human for their real-world collaboration. Then, the collaboration between each robot and the virtual human is separately implemented via the common platform based on some control algorithms for finding a hidden object in a homely environment. The collaboration between the robot and the virtual human is evaluated. The status of cybersecurity in the IoT is briefly analyzed. The results show that the collaboration is satisfactory in various terms, which justify their social integration in the form of an IoT. Two robots with different appearance are actually used to investigate the effects of anthropomorphism on the interaction. The results can help employ artificial intelligent agents of heterogeneous realities to perform real-world tasks through their cooperation in the form of IoT that can provide high performance and cybersecurity.
