<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7618230.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A self-propelled robot is used to handle explosive charges and is of the type that is remote controlled by a control console. The robot can be used to handle explosive devices and charges as well as perform special, dangerous operations. The self-propelled robot includes a chassis, and two laterally spaced-apart endless tracks having adjustable lateral spacing, and an adjustable-length scraper disposed at the front thereof. The robot also includes an articulated arm having a first segment which takes the form of a fork that is actuated by a pair of cylinders and which terminates in a clamp. The articulated arm is foldable between an extended position and a folded condition.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[An autonomous floor cleaning robot includes a transport drive and control system arranged for autonomous movement of the robot over a floor for performing cleaning operations. The robot chassis carries a first cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arranged to suction loose particulates up from the cleaning surface and a second cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arraigned to apply a cleaning fluid onto the surface and to thereafter collect the cleaning fluid up from the surface after it has been used to clean the surface. The robot chassis carries a supply of cleaning fluid and a waste container for storing waste materials collected up from the cleaning surface.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Robotic intelligence kernel]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7620477.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A robot platform includes perceptors, locomotors, and a system controller. The system controller executes a robot intelligence kernel (RIK) that includes a multi-level architecture and a dynamic autonomy structure. The multi-level architecture includes a robot behavior level for defining robot behaviors, that incorporate robot attributes and a cognitive level for defining conduct modules that blend an adaptive interaction between predefined decision functions and the robot behaviors. The dynamic autonomy structure is configured for modifying a transaction capacity between an operator intervention and a robot initiative and may include multiple levels with at least a teleoperation mode configured to maximize the operator intervention and minimize the robot initiative and an autonomous mode configured to minimize the operator intervention and maximize the robot initiative. Within the RIK at least the cognitive level includes the dynamic autonomy structure.]]></description>
