Industrial robots have set the important milestone in the era of automated machines used to replace humans in carrying out repeatable and dangerous jobs in manufacturing over 50 years. However, in this century, professional and domestic mobile service robots play the key role as human counterparts and caregivers in both industrial and daily-life settings. Mobile service robots not only replace humans in minimizing their hands-on tasks but also work with humans to stimulate them to focus on cognitively demanding tasks. Nevertheless, the first and most important concern is how to enable mobile service robots to work around or with humans without causing them danger. Moreover, we expect to make professional and domestic service robots to interact with human co-workers in culturally and contextually acceptable manners when human physical safety and psychological comfort have been completely guaranteed.

工业机器人在自动化机器时代树立了重要的里程碑，用于取代人类在制造业中进行可重复和危险的工作超过50年。然而，在这个世纪，专业和家用移动的服务机器人在工业和日常生活环境中扮演着人类同行和照顾者的关键角色。移动的服务机器人不仅可以取代人类减少他们的动手任务，而且还可以与人类一起工作，刺激他们专注于认知要求高的任务。然而，首要的也是最重要的问题是如何使移动的服务机器人能够在人类周围工作或与人类一起工作，而不会对人类造成危险。此外，我们期望在完全保证人类身体安全和心理舒适的情况下，使专业和家庭服务机器人以文化和上下文可接受的方式与人类同事进行交互。
