  abstract	= {Recent advances in mobile robotic technology has given
		  rise to new types of robotic applications called Personal
		  Robotics. The main feature of these applications is that
		  they require low cost robots that involve assisting people
		  in doing their everyday jobs such as providing personal
		  assistance, commercial security, mobile tele-conferencing,
		  tele-presence, home services, entertainment, and elderly
		  care. In this paper we will introduce a low cost and
		  general purpose mobile robotic platform called MILO. It
		  offers unique hardware and software features which make
		  MILO suitable for a wide spectrum of personal robotic
		  applications. MILO possesses PC architecture and runs on
		  Windows XP. We have experimentally evaluated MILO's
		  performance. Preliminary results show that MILO can be
		  effectively used to develop personal robotic applications.
