Abstract
In this chapter, a classification of service robotics technology within the digital home is established. This is followed by several examples of the different categories of service robots. The classifications include vacuuming and cleaning, gardening and lawnmowers, personal robotic assistants, telepresence, teleassistance and health, entertainment, home security and privacy and robotic learning categories. Some of these are analyzed and their parts described using SysML formal, open and standard notation. Finally, a brief note about the synergies between professional service robots and home service robots is included.
