Managing social constraints on recharge behaviour for robot companions using memory

In this paper, we present an approach to monitor human activities such as entry, exit and break times of people in a workplace environment. The companion robot then learns the users’ presence patterns over a period of time through memory generalisation and plans a suitable time for recharging itself causing less hindrance to human-robot interaction.
