Abstrakt: This decade has undergone a true robotic demographic explosion. The number of industrial robots in operation exceeded 1 million by the end of 2008. Sales of robots for personal and domestic purposes have increased significantly since 2000 and reached 7.2 million by the end of 2009 [41]. The rampant growth of service robots led to rethink about the role of robots within the human society. Robots are no longer slave machines that respond purely to human requests.
