Today we can say that computing is indeed pervasive, it has become a utility, and is available anywhere, anytime.
Pervasive, customized robotics is a big challenge, but its scope is not unlike the challenge of pervasive computing, which was formulated about twenty-five years ago. Today we can say that computing is indeed pervasive, it has become a utility, and is available anywhere, anytime. So, what would it take to have pervasive integration of robots in everyday life? Mark Weiser, who was a chief scientist at Xerox PARC and is widely referred to as the father of ubiquitous computing, said of pervasive computing that: “The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.”
