"Compared to the size of the industrial robotics market, service robot applications are still somewhat niche. Robot researchers are also wary of overpromising after several false technological dawns in the past.
"Still, rapid advances in a range of technologies, including machine vision, tactile sensors and autonomous navigation, make these robots much more useful and, crucially, ensure they avoid collisions with humans.
"Alin Albu-Schaeffer, director of the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), said:
"Ten years ago it took five minutes for a robot just to recognise the object in front of it was a table. Many aspects of robotics are now reaching a critical mass . . . service robotics is coming."
