We describe the development of a task-level model of distributed computation specifically designed for complex robot systems. We start by describing two fundamental problems which characterize the complex robot domain, and then describe four examples by which our model can be judged. Emphasizing that the formal exploration of behavior is as important as the specification of behavior, we describe the syntax and semantics of our model. Noting that our emphasis in this paper is on representation, we detail the implementation of each of the four examples introduced earlier. We conclude by analysing our implementations and outlining future work on this model.

This paper describes an approach to planning suitable for robots functioning in the assembly domain. A robot planner has to function in the presence of incomplete information and needs to react to unexpected changes in the environment. A planner that can function in a dynamically changing environment, correspondingly modifying its plans and goals is termed a dynamic planner . The ability of the planner to dynamically restructure its plan of action is facilitated by the fact that the robot system is equipped with various sensors. In this paper, we describe our approach to building a dynamic planner, our initial efforts and discuss the planning of a simple assembly task.

Advanced, flexible robotic systems require multiple sensors to successfully perform tasks in changing or unfamiliar environments. The data from these sensors must be integrated dynamically, in a coherent fashion, if the robot is to respond promptly and appropriately and complete its assigned task. This paper describes a methodology for the integration of two robotic senses - vision and touch. Integration is performed by augmenting the usual structural models of the object in the robot's world with functional information. These functional attributes, which describe how an object relates to other objects in the world, facilitates the process of inferring from multiple sensors and thus in controlling the robot's motions.

In this review, we provide an overview of emerging trends and challenges in the field of intelligent and autonomous, or self-driving, vehicles. Recent advances in the field of perception, planning, and decision-making for autonomous vehicles have led to great improvements in functional capabilities, with several prototypes already driving on our roads and streets. Yet challenges remain regarding guaranteed performance and safety under all driving circumstances. For instance, planning methods that provide safe and system-compliant performance in complex, cluttered environments while modeling the uncertain interaction with other traffic participants are required. Furthermore, new paradigms, such as interactive planning and end-to-end learning, open up questions regarding safety and reliability that need to be addressed. In this survey, we emphasize recent approaches for integrated perception and planning and for behavior-aware planning, many of which rely on machine learning. This raises the question of verification and safety, which we also touch upon. Finally, we discuss the state of the art and remaining challenges for managing fleets of autonomous vehicles.

th This volume is an edition of the papers selected from the 12 FIRA RoboWorld C- gress, held in Incheon, Korea, August 16–18, 2009. The Federation of International Robosoccer Association (FIRA – www. fira. net) is a non-profit organization, which organizes robotic competitions and meetings around the globe annually. The RoboSoccer competitions started in 1996 and FIRA was - tablished on June 5, 1997. The Robot Soccer competitions are aimed at promoting the spirit of science and technology to the younger generation. The congress is a forum in which to share ideas and future directions of technologies, and to enlarge the human networks in robotics area. The objectives of the FIRA Cup and Congress are to explore the technical dev- opment and achievement in the field of robotics, and provide participants with a robot festival including technical presentations, robot soccer competitions and exhibits - der the theme “Where Theory and Practice Meet. ” th Under the umbrella of the 12 FIRA RoboWorld Congress Incheon 2009, six int- national conferences were held for greater impact and scientific exchange: th • 6 International Conference on Computational Intelligence, robotics and Autonomous Systems (CIRAS) th • 5 International Symposium on Autonomous Minirobots for Research and Edutainment (AMiRE) • International Conference on Social robotics (ICSR) • International Conference on Advanced Humanoid robotics Research (ICAHRR) • International Conference on Entertainment robotics (ICER) • International robotics Education Forum (IREF) This volume consists of selected quality papers from the six conferences.

This article reviews the current state of the art in the development of modular reconfigurable robot (MRR) systems and suggests promising future research directions. A wide variety of MRR systems have been presented to date, and these robots promise to be versatile, robust, and low cost compared with other conventional robot systems. MRR systems thus have the potential to outperform traditional systems with a fixed morphology when carrying out tasks that require a high level of flexibility. We begin by introducing the taxonomy of MRRs based on their hardware architecture. We then examine recent progress in the hardware and the software technologies for MRRs, along with remaining technical issues. We conclude with a discussion of open challenges and future research directions.

robotics is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension. From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics is rapidly expanding into human environments and vigorously engaged in its new challenges. Interacting with, assisting, serving, and exploring with humans, the emerging robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The Springer Tracts in Advanced robotics (STAR) is devoted to bringing to the research community the latest advances in the robotics field on the basis of their significance and quality. Through a wide and timely dis semination of critical research developments in robotics, our objective with this series is to promote more exchanges and collaborations among the re searchers in the community and contribute to further advancements in this rapidly growing field. As one of robotics pioneering symposia, the International Symposium on robotics Research (ISRR) has established over the past two decades some of the fields most fundamental and lasting contributions. Since the launching of STAR, ISRR and several other thematic symposia in robotics find an important platform for closer links and extended reach within the robotics community. This twelfth edition of robotics Research, edited by Sebastian Thrun, Rodney Brooks, and Hugh Durrant-Whyte, offers in its 14-part volume a collection of a broad range of topics in robotics. The content of these contributions provides a wide coverage of the current state of robotics research: the advances and challenges in its theoretical foundation and technology basis, and the developments in its traditional and novel areas of apphcations.
