Abstract
In this paper a review on context and environment classification is presented with focus on autonomous service robots. A comprehensive research was made in order to classify the most relevant techniques, models and frameworks in use today, as well as to present possible future applications for these previous works. Most of the work done in this area has been focused in a general classification. In this sense a new possible application scenario is described and the corresponding supporting architecture.
