Special Issue on "Domestic Service Robots in the Real World"
This special issue focuses on a broad spectrum of domestic service
robots that operate in the real-world in home environments. The robots
are fully autonomous and use intuitive interfaces such as language,
gestures and visual displays to communicate with people. The home
environment is defined as 'any place where people live in their daily
lives', which can include, for example, a living room, a kitchen or a
garden. Special attention is being paid to submissions where the robot
capabilities are validated in a real-world setting such as the
RoboCup at Home benchmark or during long lasting experiments in the real-
world. The focus will also be on different modes of natural
interaction with humans, real-world high-level cognition, manipulation
of domestic objects, useful applications, cost-effectiveness of the
solution (computational and financial resources used by the robot),
the effect of appearance on acceptance and more.
The topics are related, but not limited, to all the aspects required
for a robot to operate in a home environment with a long-term focus on
applicability, such as:
- cooperative human-robot interaction,
- cooperative human-robot task solving,
- manipulation of domestic objects such as doors, kitchen utensils,
glasses, etc.,
- navigation in home environments,
- high-level cognition for robots in domestic environments,
- applications for domestic service robots,
- benchmarking domestic service robots,
- long lasting robotic experiments in domestic environments,
- acceptance of robots in households.
Submissions addressing practical applications using international
benchmarks and/or in-field experimental testing are strongly encouraged.
