Abstract:
Contemporary industrial production in the majority of branches successfully uses robotic systems. Application of robots in production and support to the life of human is unlimited through kinematic of specific parts of robots, performing various trajectories, ability to reach any point of robotic work envelope with certain orientation of end effector etc. One important reason for the application of robotic systems in industry is the humanization of work, especially in hazardous working conditions to human health (working in a polluted environment, dust, high temperature, monotonous and tedious jobs). After a relatively long period of investigation and disappointments, the robots have finally left the shop to find their way into our homes and offices, museums and other public spaces, in the form of self-governing air filters, lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, window cleaners, toys, surgical operator etc. These are the so-called service robots, which successfully solve tasks set to them. Robots will, sooner or later, change our daily lives, such as: assistants, servants, helpers, old friends, supporters surgeons in medical operations, intervention in hazardous environments of any search or rescue, agriculture and forestry, clearing, excavating, dangerous transportation, construction and demolition. Main discovers of robotic is that robots and human are closely cooperating in solving tasks in everyday life. Because of the unstoppable aging of our population, the emergence of the next generation of robots and robotic industry will eventually affect to the live of every man on the planet and have a huge economic, social and political impact on the future. This paper analyzes the application of service robots, the current development and strategic plans and directions for further development of service robotics.
