- Additional information
- This paper is the result of a large EU FP7 project (600623). Published in one of the top 20 publications in robotics (https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=eng_robotics). Originality: it describes the first robotic system that was tested over long periods of time (several months) in an unstructured real working environment (care-home and office building). It carried out over 8000 tasks and travelled over 100km in this challenging and ever-changing environment with minimal expert intervention. Contribution: Software system representing dozens of complex engineering feats all working together, its evaluation, and lessons learned for robot long-term deployments in real-world environments.
