Intelligent Vehicles as the Robotic Applications

In the recent years, intelligent vehicles became an important part of the service robotics. Besides routine tasks for the service robotics, such as localization and navigation, intelligent vehicle must solve many specific tasks. Although fully autonomous intelligent vehicle does not exist, there are many support systems nowadays for which vehicles are closer to the vision of self-piloted vehicle. This article presents state of art in this section of service robotics. The main body of the article introduces a definition of intelligent vehicle and automated functions used in such vehicles. Future challenges of the intelligent vehicles are also presented.
