Abstract

Compared to current autonomous robots, people get around in their environments easily and do their everyday activities reliably and efficiently. People accomplish complex jobs in changing and partly unknown environments; they manage several jobs at a time, resolve conflicts between interfering jobs, and act appropriately in unexpected and novel situations. They even reconsider their course of action in the light of new information. Truly autonomous service robots that are to operate in cooperative and not specifically engineered environments have to exhibit similar patterns of activity.
