Abstract :
More and more mobile robots appear in various areas of our lives, thus harmonization of built environment in alignment with physical and information environments becomes emphasized in order to establish the robot compatible environment. This topic is current due to rapid evolution of service robots and their connection with environment planning, whereas optimum performance has to be achieved based on the robots´ capabilities. The message of this article is that robots need to be integrated into the living environment, including synthesis of navigation, maneuverability and access to information. The goal of our research is to define the robot compatible environment, which guarantees reliability, greater efficiency and improved safety of mobile robots.
