Good Morning!

We are developing an information service that employs our indoor mobile robot, DUB-E, to answer questions you might have about your local environment, such as “Is my boss in his office?” or “Is the coffee shop still open?”. You can ask the questions in free form using the web interface of the robot at http://dub-e.org. Every time you ask DUB-E a question, it will be deployed to gather the information you requested and the answer will be provided through the web interface or email.

We will be deploying DUB-E in the Paul G. Allen Center in this school year and we are seeking residents of the building who would like to be early testers of our system. Your input will be greatly appreciated and will help us develop robots that better serve you! By participating, you will also get the opportunity to enter a raffle for a $25 Amazon gift card.

The DUB-E will be running in the test mode from today (09/29/2014) to the next Wednesday (10/01/2014), from  9am to 5pm with 12pm-1pm lunch break. You can sign up to become an early tester at:

dub-e.org

Note that the web interface does not work with the Firefox browser and also does not work well on the mobile devices. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you,

Michael Jae-Yoon Chung & Andrzej Pronobis
