Abstract Service robots are on the rise. Technological advances in engineering, artificial
intelligence, and machine learning enable robots to take over tasks traditionally carried out …

This research aims to provide a meaningful discussion on hotels that want to start robot
services by confirming the effect of consumer's self-identity with robot technology on their …

The paper presents a universal architectural pattern and an associated specification method
that can be applied in the design of robot control systems. The approach a describes the …

The paper presents a robotic system design methodology based on the concept of an
embodied agent decomposed into communicating subsystems, whose activities are …

The paper presents a systematic approach to robot control system design. The robot is
treated as an embodied agent decomposed into effectors, receptors, both real and virtual …

A robot system is designed as a set of embodied agents. An embodied agent is
decomposed into cooperating subsystems. In our previous work activities of subsystems …

This paper presets the specification and implementation of the control system of the mobile
platform Rex. The presented system structure and the description of its functioning result …

The paper presents a robot control system design method based on hierarchical Finite State
Machines (FSMs). The system is decomposed into subsystems. Each one of them is …

Addition of extra sensors, especially video cameras and force sensors, under control of
appropriate software makes robotic manipulators working in factories suitable for a range of …

Grippers are routinely used to hold, lift and move organs in laparoscopic operations. They
are generally toothed to prevent organs from slipping during retention. Organs held by …
