"This book offers a pedagogical introduction to the mechanics of space robots. After presenting an overview of the environments and conditions space robots have to work in, the author discusses a variety of manipulatory devices robots may use to perform their tasks. This is followed by a discussion of robot mobility in these environments and the various technical approaches. The last two chapters are dedicated to actuators, sensors and power systems used in space robots."

"The theme of this book is to examine the feasibility of creating such robots within the limitations of current mechanical engineering. The topics comprise the following aspects of such a pursuit : the philosophy of design of self-organizing mechanical systems, self-organization in biological systems, the history of self-organizing mechanical systems, a case study of a self-assembling/self-repairing system as an autonomous distributed system, a self-organizing robot that can create its own shape and robotic motion, implementation and instrumentation of self-organizing robots, and the future of self-organizing robots. All topics are illustrated with many up-to-date examples."

"[Autonomous robots must carry out useful tasks all by themselves relying entirely on their own perceptions of their environment. The cognitive abilities required for autonomous action are largely independent of robot size, which makes mini robots attractive as artefacts for research, education and entertainment. Autonomous mini robots must be small enough for experimentation on a desktop or a small laboratory. They must be easy to carry and safe for interaction with humans. They must not be expensive. Mini robot designers have to work at the leading edge of technology so that their creations can carry out purposeful autonomic action under these constraints. Since 2001 researchers have met every two years for an international symposium to report on the advances achieved in Autonomous Mini Robots for Research and Edutainment (AMiRE). The AMiRE Symposium is a single track conference that offers ample opportunities for discussion and exchange of ideas. This volume contains the contributed papers of the 2011 AMiRE Symposium held from 23 to 25 May 2011 at Bielefeld University, Germany. The contributions in this volume represent the state-of-the-art of autonomous mini robots; they demonstrate what is currently technically feasible and show some of the applications for autonomous mini robots. , Autonomous robots must carry out useful tasks all by themselves relying entirely on their own perceptions of their environment.

"People have dreamed of machines, which would free them from unpleasant, dull, dirty and dangerous tasks and work for them as servants, for centuries if not millennia. Service robots seem to finally let these dreams come true. But where are all these robots that eventually serve us all day long, day for day? A few service robots have entered the market: domestic and professional cleaning robots, lawnmowers, milking robots, or entertainment robots. Some of these robots look more like toys or gadgets rather than real robots. But where is the rest? This is a question, which is asked not only by customers, but also by service providers, care organizations, politicians, and funding agencies. The answer is not very satisfying. Today’s service robots have their problems operating in everyday environments. This is by far more challenging than operating an industrial robot behind a fence. There is a comprehensive list of technical and scientific problems, which still need to be solved. To advance the state of the art in service robotics towards robots, which are capable of operating in an everyday environment, was the major objective of the DESIRE project (Deutsche Service Robotik Initiative – Germany Service Robotics Initiative) funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under grant no. 01IME01A. This book offers a sample of the results achieved in DESIRE."

"A technique is presented here for directional gesture recognition by robots. The usual technique employed now is using camera vision and image processing. One major disadvantage with that is the environmental constrain. The machine vision system has a lot of lighting constrains. It is therefore only possible to use that technique in a conditioned environment, where the lighting is compatible with camera system used. The technique presented here is designed to work in any environment. It does not employ machine vision. It utilizes a set of sensors fixed on the hands of a human to identify the direction in which the hand is pointing. This technique uses cylindrical coordinate system to precisely find the direction. A programmed computing block in the robot identifies the direction accurately within the given range.Sebuah teknik yang disajikan di sini untuk arah pengenalan gestur oleh robot. Teknik yang biasa digunakan saat ini menggunakan camera vision dan pengolahan citra. Salah satu kelemahan utama dengan teknik itu adalah keterbatasan lingkungan. Sistem machine vision memiliki banyak kendala pencahayaan. Oleh karena itu, teknik tersebut hanya mungkin digunakan dalam lingkungan yang telah dikondisikan sebelumnya, di mana pencahayaan cocok dengan sistem kamera yang digunakan. Teknik yang disajikan di makalah ini dirancang untuk bekerja dalam lingkungan apapun dan tidak menggunakan machine vision. Sistem yang diusulkan ini menggunakan satu set sensor tetap di tangan manusia untuk mengidentifikasi arah di mana tangan menunjuk. Teknik ini menggunakan sistem koordinat silinder untuk secara tepat menemukan arah. Sebuah blok komputasi diprogram pada robot mengidentifikasi arah secara akurat dalam kisaran yang diberikan."
