Abstract :

Service robots are one of the most critical robot's applications that enter human life. This domain consists of elements from human health to industry. Somehow, this robot type can save a human's life or help him secure from the load-carrying job and all repeated work that may interfere with job accuracy. Based on ISO 8373:2012 The service robots Split into personal service types of robots characteristically meant to use outside of manufacturing and the professional setting robots and professional service robots that can use as non-commercial individuals professional service robots can use as commercial professionals. Even as the service robot development research has shown various new service robots with specific ability proposed, some parts in these robot types are similar and are day by day extended. MIR and AGV robots are the most famous service robot with dual ability in the industry and the home applicant. This paper covers most of the papers published on the MIR platform to address the detailed design and part of these types, which can be useful for industries and researchers. The most significant thing that has been done through this review is a service robot design. On the other hand, the researcher has more investigation on the service robot application and has study the MIR Industrial/service robot platform.
