Joe Engelberger, the pioneer of the robotics industry, wrote in his
1989 book Robotics in Service that the inspiration to write his
book came as a reaction to an industry-sponsored forecast study of
robot applications, which predicted that in 1995 applications of
robotics outside factories - the traditional domain of industrial
robots - would amount to less than 1% of total sales. Engelberger
believed that this forecast was very wrong, and instead predicted
that the non-industrial class of robot applications would become
the largest class. Engelbergers prediction has yet to come to pass.
However, he did correctly foresee the growth in non-traditional
applications of robots. Robots are now beginning to march from the
factories and into field and service applications. This book
presents a selection of papers from the first major international
conference dedicated to field and service applications of robotics.
This selection includes papers from the leading research
laboratories in the world together with papers from companies that
are building and selling new and innovative robotic technology. It
describes interesting aspects of robots in the field ranging from
mining, agriculture, construction, cargo handling, subsea
operations, removal of landmines, to terrestrial exploration. It
also covers a diverse range of service applications, such as
cleaning, propagating plants and aiding the elderly and
handicapped, and gives considerable attention to the technology
required to realise robust, reliable and safe robots.
