On the Way to the Next Generation of Robots
Abstract
The field of robotics is one of the most innovative in the last decade. Conventional industrial robots from the late 70’s are now only a tool on the production level. One of the oldest dreams of the robotic community – intelligent, mobile and humanoid robots – starts to become a reality because of the rapid development of “external” sensors.
External sensors (e.g. visual, auditive, force-torque) offer intelligent robots the possibility to see, hear, speak, feel, smell like humans. Compared with conventional, unintelligent, industrial robots, intelligent robots can fulfill new, innovative tasks in new application areas.
