Service Robotics Sample Clauses

Service Robotics. In the future, a new class of machines and linked technologies that will fulfil a variety of assistive roles is required in order to maintain the current QoL of the population. According to Xxxxx et al. (Xxxxx X. et al., 2011) these new generation of robot will call Robot Companions for Citizens. The Robot Companions (RCs) will be machines that will primarily help and assist elderly people in daily activities at home, in their workplace and in other environments. RCs will be able to perform a multitude of roles thanks to their capabilities to act and interact physically, emotionally, socially and safely with humans, providing for an improved QoL. RCs should be strong, graceful, and sentient machines. Eventually, RCs should be more than mechatronics: in order to develop them we need to develop a new generation of components, both bodyware and mindware. Today’s robots are mechatronic or bio-mechatronic systems: robots are the result of the integration of many components each having a peculiar and well-specified function. Hence, if we want robots with a more adaptive and complex behaviour, we usually need to increase the number of degrees of freedom, the number of sensors, the computational load, the energy consumption and the baud rate of the human machine interface. In this sense starting from well-established as well as innovative mechatronic design solutions and components, RCs will gradually move towards a close integration of micro-/nano-fabricated smart materials, each having multiple functions such as sensing, actuation, information processing and communication, energy supplying and mechanical support. Nowadays, new actuators are mostly a smart integration of traditional components such as motors, spring, cables. In the future Robot Companions will be based on nano-fabricated smart materials and bio-artificial components.
