Robots have begun to populate the everyday environments of human beings. These social
robots must perform their tasks without disturbing the people with whom they share their …

This paper presents the evolution of a robotic architecture intended for controlling
autonomous social robots. The first instance of this architecture was originally designed …

The robots are set to penetrate into daily life of human beings. The purpose of a robot is to
accomplish a goal within specified task constraints, thus reducing human effort as well as …

This paper reflects on a seminal work in the history of AI and representation: Rodney Brooks'
1991 paper Intelligence without representation. Brooks advocated the removal of explicit …

This study discusses the attempt to optimize the circular robot dimension with the planned
robot work area. This research is necessary because for building robot it faced problem in …

This paper proposes a novel system for managing visual attention in social robots. This
system is based on a client/server approach that allows integration with a cognitive …

Using information from RGBD sensors requires huge amount of processing. To use these
sensors improves the robustness of algorithms for object perception, self-localization and, in …

This thesis examines the claim that reactive behaviours are sufficient to enable a pair of
robots to collaborate and move a piece of furniture. It shows that a small set of mostly …
