Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are interconnected, with robotics being a branch of AI focused on developing intelligent machines or robots. Although robotics and AI initially shared a strong synergy, the two fields have diverged significantly over the subsequent decades. This material highlights the integration of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science within the field of robotics. Robots are capable of mimicking human actions and engaging with their surroundings using sensors and actuators. This paper aims to contribute to this resurgence by offering an overview of the challenges and methodologies related to autonomous deliberate action in robotics. It promotes a comprehensive understanding of deliberation functions and provides a synthesized view of planning, acting, perceiving, monitoring, and goal reasoning, along with their integrative architectures. This perspective is illustrated through various contributions that have addressed deliberation from the AIRobotics perspective.
