The goal of this work is to describe how robots interact with complex city environments, and to identify the main characteristics of an emerging field that we call Robot–City Interaction (RCI). Given the central role recently gained by modern cities as use cases for the deployment of advanced technologies, and the advancements achieved in the robotics field in recent years, we assume that there is an increasing interest both in integrating robots in urban ecosystems, and in studying how they can interact and benefit from each others. Therefore, our challenge becomes to verify the emergence of such area, to assess its current state and to identify the main characteristics, core themes and research challenges associated with it. This is achieved by reviewing a preliminary body of work contributing to this area, which we classify and analyze according to an analytical framework including a set of key dimensions for the area of RCI. Such review not only serves as a preliminary state-of-the-art in the area, but also allows us to identify the main characteristics of RCI and its research landscape.

机器人与城市的互动：描绘研究领域-机器人与现代城市之间互动的调查

这项工作的目的是描述机器人如何与复杂的城市环境互动，并确定我们称为机器人与城市互动的新兴领域的主要特征。（RCI）。鉴于现代城市最近在用作部署先进技术的用例中所起的核心作用，以及近年来机器人技术领域取得的进步，我们认为对将机器人集成到城市生态系统以及进行研究的兴趣日益增长他们如何互动并彼此受益。因此，我们面临的挑战是验证该地区的出现，评估其现状并确定与之相关的主要特征，核心主题和研究挑战。这是通过审查对这一领域做出贡献的初步工作来实现的，我们根据包括框架RCI领域的一组关键维度在内的分析框架对这些工作进行分类和分析。这样的审查不仅可以作为该地区的最新技术，
