Service Robotics as an Application for the Grand Challenges in Computer Engineering

摘要

Service robots have a very high potential for the future and are already today employed in a number of important applications. For exploiting this potential successfully progress has to be made in many disciplines. This article focuses on robot control architectures in hardware and software. Taking today existing robots as examples typical current control architectures are presented and the contribution of the Grand Challenges in Computer Science to their further development is discussed.
