Abstract :
In this video we briefly illustrate the progress and contributions made with our mobile, indoor, service robots CoBots (Collaborative Robots), since their creation in 2009. Many researchers, present authors included, aim for autonomous mobile robots that robustly perform service tasks for humans in our indoor environments. The efforts towards this goal have been numerous and successful, and we build upon them. However, there are clearly many research challenges remaining until we can experience intelligent mobile robots that are fully functional and capable in our human environments.
