....home while you are outdoors doing some shopping, is an old wish and it may stay so for some time. Many companies and research institutions have tried to develop such a robot, with only few results. The human operator can not be replaced easily by artificial intelligence [Schraft et al. 1994, Schofield and Grunke, 1994] The lack of results is common to a large range of applications in autonomous mobile robotics, and it is due to the complexity of the task and the limitations of the actual technology. Autonomous , in this case, does not simply mean that the robot has batteries, good computational power and ....

.... Mobile Robots 1 Introduction The design of physical autonomous agents and their control structure continues to be a hot research field, where techniques are applied to several kinds of robots [Brooks90] Franceschini91] Yuta87] Mondada93] in a large number of possible application fields [Schofield94] [Everett93] Wendell93] Yamamoto93] Burhanpurkar94] The central problem is how to give the necessary autonomy to the agent while still controlling its final useful behaviour. Even the basic knowlegde and fundamental mechanisms of functioning required by the agent give rise to big discussions. ....
