Synopsis
Service robots assist humans by performing so-called 3D jobs – dirty, dangerous and demanding tasks, that may be in addition too boring for a human, repetitive and effort demanding. The International Organization for Standardization defines a “service robot” as a robot “that performs useful tasks for humans or equipment excluding industrial automation applications”. According to ISO 8373 a service robot requires “a degree of autonomy”, i.e. the “ability to perform intended tasks based on current state and sensing, without human intervention”. For service robots these abilities range from teleoperated robots to completely autonomous robots, or may demonstrate one of the intermediate levels of autonomy between these two boundary options. Service robots are categorized into personal or professional service robots depending on their intended usage. The International Federation of Robotics statistics emphasizes a rapid growth in customer demand for service robots, which is directly mapped to the flourishing of service robotics related researches both in universities and IT companies.
