Networks for a symbiotic human life with robots

ABSTRACT

It is expected that the age when men and robots live together is close at hand. In the age, his/her everyday life will be helped by robots. This article proposes a network software architecture that realizes a space where a man and robots live together. It also proposes a method for describing service programs using a rule based language. For service architecture, a concept of integrated services, which is becoming standard in web services, is adopted. A prototype system for a robot control system was made based on the proposed architecture, and the proposed architecture was confirmed as reasonable.
