 abstract = {Standardized middleware for autonomous robot control has proven itself
	to enable faster deployment of robots, to make robot control code
	more interchangeable, and experiments easier to replicate. Unfortunately,
	the support provided by current middleware is in most cases limited
	to what current robots do: navigation. However, as we tackle more
	ambitious service robot applications, more comprehensive middleware
	support is needed. We increasingly need the middleware to support
	ubiquitous sensing infrastructures, robot manipulation tasks, and
	cognitive capabilities. In this paper we describe and discuss current
	extensions of the {Player/Stage/Gazebo} ({P/S/G)} middleware, one
	of the most widespread used robot middlewares, of which we are active
	developers, that satisfy these requirements.},
