基础模型(包括大语言模型、视觉-语言模型、多模态大语言模型和视觉-语言-动作模型)的快速发展为移动服务机器人的具身人工智能开辟了新路径。通过将基础模型与具身智能原则结合——即智能体通过物理交互进行感知、推理与行动——移动服务机器人可在动态真实环境中实现更灵活的理解、自适应行为与鲁棒任务执行。尽管取得进展,该领域仍面临自然语言指令转为可执行动作、以人为中心环境中的多模态感知、安全决策中的不确定性估计,以及实时本地部署的计算约束等根本挑战。本文首次系统综述基础模型在移动服务机器人中的集成应用,分析其如何通过语言条件控制、多模态传感器融合、不确定性感知推理与高效模型缩放解决上述问题。我们进一步考察家庭协助、医疗护理与服务自动化的实际应用,揭示基础模型如何支持情境感知、社会响应与可泛化机器人行为。除技术外,还探讨伦理、社会影响与人机交互的深层议题。最后,提出未来研究方向:可靠性与终身适应、隐私敏感与资源受限部署,以及治理与人在环路框架,以实现安全、可扩展且可信的移动服务机器人系统。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Rapid advancements in foundation models, including Large Language Models, Vision-Language Models, Multimodal Large Language Models, and Vision-Language-Action Models, have opened new avenues for embodied AI in mobile service robotics. By combining foundation models with the principles of embodied AI, where intelligent systems perceive, reason, and act through physical interaction, mobile service robots can achieve more flexible understanding, adaptive behavior, and robust task execution in dynamic real-world environments. Despite this progress, embodied AI for mobile service robots continues to face fundamental challenges related to the translation of natural language instructions into executable robot actions, multimodal perception in human-centered environments, uncertainty estimation for safe decision-making, and computational constraints for real-time onboard deployment. In this paper, we present the first systematic review focused specifically on the integration of foundation models in mobile service robotics. We analyze how recent advances in foundation models address these core challenges through language-conditioned control, multimodal sensor fusion, uncertainty-aware reasoning, and efficient model scaling. We further examine real-world applications in domestic assistance, healthcare, and service automation, highlighting how foundation models enable context-aware, socially responsive, and generalizable robot behaviors. Beyond technical considerations, we discuss ethical, societal, and human-interaction implications associated with deploying foundation model-enabled service robots in human environments. Finally, we outline future research directions emphasizing reliability and lifelong adaptation, privacy-aware and resource-constrained deployment, and governance and human-in-the-loop frameworks required for safe, scalable, and trustworthy mobile service robotics.
