Abstract
In order for mobile robots to interact e ectively with people they will have to recognize faces. In this paper we describe arobot system that nds people, approaches them and then recognizes them. The system uses a variety of techniques: color vision is used to ndpeople� vision and sonar sensors are used toapproach them � a template-based pattern recognition algorithm is used to isolate the face � and a neural network is used torecognize the face. All of these processes are controlled using an intelligent robot architecture thatsequences and monitors the robot's actions. We present the results of many experimental runs using an actual mobile robot nding and recognizing up to six di erent people.
