Abstract
The deployment of robots in dynamic, complex and uncertain environments populated by people is gaining more and more attention, from both research and application perspectives. The new challenge for the near future is to deploy intelligent social robots in public spaces to make easier and safer the use of these spaces. In this paper, we provide an overview of the COACHES project which addresses fundamental issues related to the design and development of autonomous robots to be deployed in public spaces. In particular, we describe the main components in which Artificial Intelligence techniques are used and integrated with the robotic system, as well as implementation details and some preliminary tests of these components.
