Service Robot

Service robots aim to automate tasks in various environments, focusing on safe and efficient human-robot interaction and task completion. Current research emphasizes improving robot perception (e.g., using vision, tactile sensing, and multimodal fusion) and decision-making (e.g., through large language models, behavior trees, and reinforcement learning) for tasks like navigation, manipulation, and object retrieval. These advancements are crucial for expanding the practical applications of service robots in domains such as healthcare, hospitality, and manufacturing, while also contributing to a deeper understanding of human-robot interaction and socially acceptable robot behavior.
