Abstract

This paper presents the design of an autonomous robot guide for a museum-like environment in a motorcycle assembly plant. The system integrates Industry 4.0 technologies such as artificial vision, indoor positioning, generative artificial intelligence, and cloud connectivity to enhance the visitor experience. The development follows the Design Inclusive Research (DIR) methodology and the VDI 2206 standard to ensure a structured scientific and engineering process. A key innovation is the integration of mmWave sensors alongside LiDAR and RGB-D cameras, enabling reliable human detection and improved navigation safety in reflective indoor environments, as well as the deployment of an open-source large language model for natural, on-device interaction with visitors. The current results include the complete mechanical, electronic, and software architecture; simulation validation; and a preliminary implementation in the real museum environment, where the system demonstrated consistent autonomous navigation, stable performance, and effective user interaction.
