Workshop at IROS 2010

At the IROS 2010 workshop, members of the RoboEarth team participated in the discussion on how the autonomous robotics community may tackle more and more complex manipulation activities, such as doing household chores, in more and more realistic operating environments such as human working and living environments. One of the biggest challenges in such applications is the open-endedness of the task domains and the enormous amount of knowledge needed to achieve reliable task success. Luckily almost every robot has access to the World Wide Web, the world's largest knowledge and information source.
