There are also many home robots developed for home
service applications such as companion robot, cleaning robot,
cooking robot, and pet care robot. The authors [5] develop a
socially assistive home robot companion for elderly people
living alone at home. The robot can provide intelligent
reminding and dangerous situation detecting. The research
work on a home assistant robot is introduced [6]. The robot
improves the ease and productivity of home activities. For
people who work outside the home, the assistant robot
performs chores in their home while they are away. The
authors [7] develop a home robot to realize chore task
intelligence. In order to realize reliable and flexible decision
making, an inference mechanism is used by the robot to
decompose higher level task specifications into primitive tasks.
A vision based human computer interaction (HCI) method is
proposed [8] for a user to command a cleaning robot to move
to a specific location. A dual-arm humanoid cooking robot [9]
is able to cook food like a master chef in ordinary kitchens.
The researchers design a home robot [10] which can take care
of pets on behalf of their owners.
In order to realize various functions such as locomotion,
positioning, manipulation, and sensing, a great many motors
and sensors are used in robot systems. The energy
consumption of these devices makes the robot with an
onboard battery not able to work for a long time. Some
researchers have developed docking stations to enable robots
to connect with chargers automatically for batteries charging.
An automatic recharging device and a robot docking
mechanism are developed for battery recharging [11]. R. C.
Luo et al. [12] propose an automatic recharging device and a
docking control strategy for a security robot. A vision-based
mobile robot docking system is designed by using imageplane
measurements [13]. A vision-based method is also used
by U. Kartoun [14] to design a docking algorithm for selfdocking
and recharging of an autonomous robot. The design
