The field of robotics is one of the most innovative in the last decade. Conventional industrial robots from the late 70’s are now only a tool on the production level. One of the oldest dreams of the robotic community – intelligent, mobile and humanoid robots – starts to become a reality because of the rapid development of “external” sensors.External sensors (e.g. visual, auditive, force-torque) offer intelligent robots the possibility to see, hear, speak, feel, smell like humans. Compared with conventional, unintelligent, industrial robots, intelligent robots can fulfill new, innovative tasks in new application areas.
