Abstract
Autonomous service robots have great potential to support humans in tasks they cannot perform due to, amongst others, time constraints, work overload, or staff shortages. An important step for such service robots to be trusted or accepted by society is the provision of transparency. Its purpose is not only to communicate what a robot is doing according to the human interaction partners' needs, it should also regard social and legal requirements. A black box recorder (inspired by flight recorders) increases the system's transparency by facilitating the investigation of the cause of an incident, clarifying responsibilities, or improving the user's understanding about the robot. In this work we propose the needed requirements of such a black box recorder for increased transparency of autonomous service robots, based on the related work. Further, we present a new modular and portable black box recorder design meeting these requirements. The applicability of the system is evaluated based on real-world robot data, using the realized open-source reference implementation.
