Household Service Robotics is a collection of the latest technological advances in household service robotics in five main areas: robot systems, manipulation, navigation, object recognition, and human-robot interaction. The book enables readers to understand developments and apply them to their own working areas including: robotic technologies for assisted living and elderly care; domestic cleaning automation; household surveillance; and guiding systems for public spaces. It provides a single source collection of the latest development in domestic robotic systems and control. This is an area of active industrial research and development for consumer products and this book provides engineers and researchers with insight into the latest developments in this sector. Service robotics is a highly multidisciplinary field and requires a holistic approach. This handbook provide insights to the disciplines involved in the field as well as advanced methods and techniques that enable the scale up of theory to actual systems, with coverage of systems functionalities including vision systems, location control and HCI, that are important in domestic settings. It focuses on algorithms for object recognition, manipulation, human-robot interaction, and navigation for household robotics.
