The worldwide population of elderly people is growing rapidly and in the coming decades the proportion of older people in the developed countries will change significantly. This d...
In most advanced real-time control applications such as service robots, the tasks have different criticality, flexible timing constraints and variable execution time. For instance...
– The service robot supports people in their daily activities, while the interaction between humans and robots seems to be an important part of its performance. Dialogue may be b...
—Advancements in robotics have gained much momentum in recent years. Industrial robotic systems are increasingly being used outside the factory floor, evident by the growing pres...
— The field of robotics is on a growth curve, with most of the growth expected in the areas of personal and service robots. As robots become more prevalent in chaotic home and in...
— In recent years, a lot of companies and laboratories start to announce their various prototype service robots. As we could know in that point, the market for intelligent servic...
— We present an approach to the problem of 3D map building in urban settings for service robots, using threedimensional laser range scans as the main data input. Our system is ba...
