Abstract

This paper describes the integration and deployment of a mobile robotic system in a large-scale indoor artistic exhibition. The robot, covered with oak wood and carrying a finely milled rake, moves around artistic installations and rakes the red sand of the Zen garden-like environment. The route the robot follows through the exhibition space is pre-programmed and is only interrupted by the visitors it avoids.
