Abstract

In this paper the use of robots as intelligent appliances is discussed. A number of advertised systems are reviewed and their basic characteristics analyzed. Open issues in terms of navigation, user interfaces, robustness, price are discussed as a basis for issues for future research to enable commercial delivery of such systems.
