We discuss each component of the system in detail and highlight the perception, navigation, and manipulation algorithms employed. We present results from several public demonstrations, including one in which the system was run for several hours and interacted with several hundred people.</p> 2008-07-01 00:00:00 Manipulation Navigation Grasping Autonomous Systems
