A mobile robot is an autonomous machine that is not fixed to one physical area. It has ability to move around in the environment to give versatile kind of services to user. The environmental knowledge (context assessment) is important for the successful navigation of robot in current environment. This survey aims to define clearly the meanings of context and context-aware system. We contribute a structure for the categorization of context-aware approaches within each viewpoint by studying, analyzing and comparing the existing approaches. The satisfactory characteristics of mobile robots related to context awareness are proposed in this paper. In this paper, contextual awareness approaches are grouped into several categories such as context acquisition, context modeling, service oriented architecture (SOA) and their frameworks, user perception approaches and others. These categories are further subcategorized …
