Abstract :
A multi-functional mobile robot has been derived as a technology transfer from a European project. The robot is intended for a variety of biomedical/assistive tasks and other general civil applications. Its autonomy is provided by an open set of sensors that include, in particular, a positioning system, integrated into the local networks typical of “intelligent buildings” and building automation
