                       control has proven itself to enable faster
                       deployment of robots, to make robot control code
                       more interchangeable, and experiments easier to
                       replicate. Unfortunately, the support provided
                        by current middleware is in most cases limited
                       to what current robots do: navigation. However,
                       as we tackle more ambitious service robot
                       applications, more comprehensive middleware
                       support is needed. We increasingly need the
                       middleware to support ubiquitous sensing
                       infrastructures, robot manipulation tasks, and
                       cognitive capabilities. In this paper we
                       describe and discuss current extensions of the
                       Player/Stage/Gazebo (P/S/G) middleware, one of
                       the most widespread used robot middlewares, of
                       which we are active developers, that satisfy
                       these requirements.},
