These sources collectively examine the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotics, focusing on the technical and structural requirements for building autonomous systems that can operate reliably over long periods. One primary area of focus is long-term autonomy (LTA), which requires robots to adapt to changing, unstructured environments through advanced navigation, perception, and planning. Another critical theme is the necessity for international data standards to ensure that physical experiences and multimodal datasets remain interoperable and reusable across different robotic platforms. Finally, the texts emphasize Explainable AI (XAI) as an essential tool for building human trust and transparency, allowing robots to communicate the reasoning behind their decisions. Together, the literature suggests that the future of robotics depends on integrating interpretable intelligence with standardized, physically coherent data to enable seamless collaboration between humans and machines.
