Autonomous or cooperative, ARY robots are complex systems.
Computers are necessary in order to provide general control, human-machine communication, and strategic management of robots.
Programming is crucial in order to allows humans to specify robot behaviour and general tasks to be performed.
In a fashion analog to humans, robots must rely on numerous specialized organs, and the proper architecture for distributing in a coherent way these components is a key issue.
In mobile robots, locomotion issues are essential, as well as motion control aspects.
