 abstract = {This paper describes Minerva, an interactive tour-guide robot that
	was successful ly deployed in a Smithsonian museum. Minerva's software
	is pervasively probabilistic, relying on explicit representations
	of uncertainty in perception and control. This article describes
	Minerva's major software components, and provides a comparative analysis
	of the results obtained in the Smithsonian museum. During two weeks
	of highly successful operation, the robot interacted with thousands
	of people, both in the museum and through the Web, traversing more
	than 44km at speeds of up to 163 cm/sec in the unmodified museum.},
