An Autonomous Delivery Robot is a robot that has wheels and can pick up objects and put them down. It has sensing capabilities so that it can recognize the objects that it must manipulate and can avoid obstacles. It can be given orders in natural language and obey them, making reasonable choices about what to do when its goals conflict. Such a robot could be used in an office environment to deliver packages, mail, and/or coffee, or it could be embedded in a wheelchair to help disabled people. It should be useful as well as safe.
