Definition and scope of autonomous robots

An autonomous robot is a robot that can perform behaviors or tasks without recourse to human control. The article frames autonomy through a set of components and criteria: physical self-maintenance (e.g., monitoring internal status such as battery level and seeking charging), sensing the environment (exteroception through multiple environmental sensors and the ability to recognize sensor failures), task performance (carrying out physical work and increasingly conditional behaviors), and autonomous navigation (localization and movement indoors and outdoors using maps, sensor fusion, and real-time path updates).
