Abstract
The development of the AGV has highlighted a number of important issues that will need to be addressed by the robotics community as techniques developed in the laboratory mature to become commercial systems. In particular, the need to develop and build reliability in the context of autonomous systems is seen as crucial. This requires a careful re-think of the way in which techniques and systems are implemented, and the development of quantifiable measures of performance and reliability at both the sub-system level and as part of an overall vehicle.
