# Towards Pervasive Robotics

Artur M. Arsénio

*Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 1553-1553.

## Abstract

Pervasive robotics will require, in a near future, small, light and cheap robots that exhibit complex behaviors. These demands led to the development of the M2-M4 Macaco project- a robotic active vision head. Macaco is a portable system, capable of emulating the head of different creatures both aesthetically and functionally. It integrates mechanisms for social interactions, autonomous navigation and object analysis.
