Abstract
Service robotics is the area of robotics with the strongest predicted growth. According to Future Horizon, service robotics will overtake industrial robotics and gain a dominant share of the estimated $59 billion robotics market in 2010 (Key Market Drivers Report, 2004). Such predictions are extrapolations of current trends in the area of robot pets, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, etc. In addition, it is assumed that 10 million “domestic intelligent service robots” will appear, providing assistance to the elderly. However, the exact function of such robots is still a matter of debate and research.
