Abstract
The present study aims at providing a robotic architecture system composed by a semi-autonomous mobile robot and a manipulator robot. The user, on a smart wheelchair, is able to move in an indoor environment, by selecting, through a user-interface, the room where he/she wants to move and the object he/she would like to get. In case an object is selected, the user is automatically driven in front of a robotic workstation, where the desired object is picked and placed by a robotic arm in front of the user. The system has been tested on a simulator, and preliminary experimental results show the feasibility of the proposed architecture.
