The PEIS table : an autonomous robotic table for domestic environments

• There are two main trends in the area of home and service robotics. The classical one aims at the developmentof a single skilled servant robot, able to perform complex tasks in a passive environment. The second, more recenttrend aims at the achievement of complex tasks through the cooperation of a network of simpler robotic devicespervasively embedded in the domestic environment. This paper contributes to the latter trend by describing the PEISTable, an autonomous robotic table that can be embedded in a smart environment. The robotic table can operatealone, performing simple point-to-point navigation, or it can collaborate with other devices in the environment toperform more complex tasks. Collaboration follows the PEIS Ecology model. The hardware and software designof the PEIS Table are guided by a set of requirements for robotic domestic furniture that differ, to some extent, fromthe requirements usually considered for service robots.
