The Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT) represents the rise of a new paradigm enabling robots to serve not only as autonomous units but also as intelligent interconnected entities that can interact, collaborate, and share information through the edge, cloud and other data networks. IoRT is a technological progress and the fusion of Robotics with the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and edge...
Recent research and developments in cloud robotics (CR) require appropriate knowledge representation to ensure interoperable data, information, and knowledge sharing within cloud infrastructures. As an important branch of the Internet of Things (IoT), these demands to advance it forward motivates academic and industrial sectors to invest on it. The IEEE ’Ontologies for Robotics and Automation’ Working Group (OR...
Within the next decades, robots will need to be able to execute a large variety of tasks autonomously in a large variety of environments. To relax the resulting programming effort, a knowledge-enabled approach to robot programming can be adopted to organize information in re-usable knowledge pieces. However, for the ease of reuse, there needs to be an agreement on the meaning of terms. A common approach is to r...
An overview of the 1872-205 IEEE standard and the efforts related to it.
Creating a standard for knowledge representation and reasoning in autonomous robotics is an urgent task if we consider recent advances in robotics as well as predictions about the insertion of robots in human daily life. Indeed, this will impact the way information is exchanged between multiple robots or between robots and humans and how they can all understand it without ambiguity. Indeed, Human Robot Interact...
