Abstract
Over the years, automated vehicles have evolved from reliable yet rigidly constrained AGV to the fairly flexible ones of the HelpMate generation. If many problems related to the autonomous navigation of such vehicles have found solutions that appear to be adequato to many practical situations, yet their capacity of interacting with the users and the environment is still limited. In the present paper, the research work done at Irst in the framework of the Experimental Platform of MAIA is presented. In particular, a transport mission scenario (MAIA `94) is considered, in which autonomous navigation, speech recognition and planning skills represents three aspects of one and the same ability that the system can exhibit of establishing interactions with the external world in an reliable and autonomous fashionI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
