Here's Tom's abstract:

Mobile robotics is poised for explosive growth. This is driven in part
by recent developments in low cost 3D imaging technology, embedded
computing, algorithms for estimation and control, mobile user
interfaces, and significant support/interest from large commercial
organizations. The multi-disciplinary nature and the speed at which
the field is progressing often makes mobile robotics seem daunting to
newcomers. In this developer-focused talk, Tom will provide an
overview of the field, point to some recent major milestones, survey
current tools/approaches to building mobile robots, and provide
real-world examples from his experience in commercializing the
Automated Transport and Retrieval System (ATRS).
