Abstract

Before service robots will be part of our daily lives, large-scale developments on both hardware and software are required. Nevertheless, service robots are currently only available to large research institutions that have the resources to develop one. The service robots that are available are usually far too expensive. Furthermore, the available service robots are not modular, and their designs are closed-source, hampering further development. Therefore, a modular service robot is required with standardized interfaces. Furthermore, it must be open hardware so that it can act as a reference implementation for future developments. This paper presents best practices in service robots and introduces a control design for a domestic service robot. 

Keywords
