TY - CHAP AU - Tomomasa Sato AU - Nobuto Matsuhira AU - Eimei Oyama ED - Ho Seok Ahn Y1 - 2008-07-01 PY - 2008 T1 - Development of Common Platform Technology for Next-Generation Robots N2 - This book consists of 18 chapters about current research results of service robots. Topics covered include various kinds of service robots, development environments, architectures of service robots, Human-Robot Interaction, networks of service robots and basic researches such as SLAM, sensor network, etc. This book has some examples of the research activities on Service Robotics going on around the globe, but many chapters in this book concern advanced research on this area and cover interesting topics. Therefore I hope that all who read this book will find lots of helpful information and be interested in Service Robotics. I am really appreciative of all authors who have invested a great deal of time to write such interesting and high quality chapters.
