Modular Robotic Playware [PDF]
, 2016 There is an open debate on whether today’s consumer driven economy is constantly encouraging us to buy and not to build. Plagiarism and copyright policies can potentially serve as mental barricades that dry out our curiosity, creativity and collaboration [1, 2]. In this work we, at Center for Playware, seek to revitalize and quench our users thirst for

Modularity in Service Robotics
, 2008 Service robotics has been an active research and development area for more than ten years. However, most of the subsystems needed to create a fully operational service robot have been developed separately by individual research groups. Modularity could be the key factor to success by reducing the development time and by increasing the technical ...
