A Survey on Path Planning Algorithms for Mobile Robots
The use of mobile robots is growing every day. Path planning algorithms are needed to allow the coordination of several robots, and make them travel with the least cost and without collisions. With this emerged the interest in studying some path planning

Improving the expressiveness of mobile robots [PDF]
RoboX is a tour guide robot, designed to interact with visitors at Expo02, the Swiss National Exhibition. During five months, ten RoboXs will be in contact with about 4500 visitors per day. These peoples are not trained to autonomous robots and will be guided by the robots throughout an exhibition about robotics.

"I was Confused by It; It was Confused by Me:" Exploring the Experiences of People with Visual Impairments around Mobile Service Robots [PDF]
Mobile service robots have become increasingly ubiquitous. However, these robots can pose potential accessibility issues and safety concerns to people with visual impairments (PVI). We sought to explore the challenges faced by PVI around mainstream mobile service robots and identify their needs.

TacMMs: Tactile Mobile Manipulators for Warehouse Automation [PDF]
Multi-robot platforms are playing an increasingly important role in warehouse automation for efficient goods transport. This paper proposes a novel customization of a multi-robot system, called Tactile Mobile Manipulators (TacMMs). Each TacMM integrates a soft optical tactile sensor and a mobile robot with a load-lifting mechanism, enabling cooperative

Introspective perception for mobile robots
Perception algorithms that provide estimates of their uncertainty are crucial to the development of autonomous robots that can operate in challenging and uncontrolled environments. Such perception algorithms provide the means for having risk-aware robots that reason about the probability of successfully completing a task when planning.
