Autonomous service robots in a multi-agent based system for household and industrial environments

该项目解决了开发用于智能清洁服务的自主移动机器人所需的基础研究问题。作为一个跨越机器人、机电一体化和人工智能领域的跨学科项目，它为将机器人带入结构较松散的人类环境提供了潜在的好处。在家庭和工业环境中执行自动清洁（包括危险废物和溢出物）和安全任务的机器人在节省成本和时间，提高效率和安全性以及促进危险或劳动密集型任务方面具有巨大的国家/社区效益。其他好处包括研究培训，加强澳大利亚在关键创新技术方面的研发地位，创造就业机会和出口。

This project addresses fundamental research issues required to develop autonomous mobile robots for intelligent cleaning services. As an interdisciplinary project spanning the fields of robotics, mechatronics and AI, it offers potential benefits in bringing robots into less-structured human environments. Robots performing autonomous cleaning (including hazardous waste and spillage) and security tasks in both household and industrial environments has tremendous national/community benefits in cost and time savings, improved efficiency and safety, and facilitating hazardous or labour intensive tasks. Other benefits include research training, strengthening Australia's R&D position in key innovative technologies, and creating jobs and exports.
