In IoT environment, large amount of data can be collected by various sensors, and the collected data can be processed to create new values. On the other hand, in order to provide the robot services to users, context information is required for recognizing the surrounding situational information. However, each sensor gives a single value as context information, so it is difficult to express the surrounding...
Sensory data should be converted into meaningful situational information so that context-aware system can provide various robot services for users on IoT environments. Context-aware system gathers sensor data from the natural environment, which is converted to sensory data and abstracted as situational data to provide robot services. On robot runtime environment, context-aware system is required to...
Recently, the concern with tourism destination marketing, which is conducted marketing research from a point of view from a tourism destination, has been growing. We developed a stamp-rally and questionnaire service using robots, with the aim of applying to the marketing research of tourist site and visitors of an exhibition. This robot-service is able to obtain the information and status of tourists...
This paper proposes a mapping method with the virtual world and the real world for robot remote controlling via the internet. Server isolates a user operation side in the virtual world and a robot working side in the real world. We use a Game Engine for creating the virtual world. The Game Engine handles user operation and user side view. This view is used for the reference for comparing matching...
When we discuss operability and convenience of remote control robot systems, it was usual to focus on user interfaces to operate robots. In this paper, we propose to improve methods of service providing based on the different operation types, e.g. Operation which requires real time response, operation which allows delay between user operation and robot movement via networks.
Internet and cloud-based robot services and their platforms are becoming attractive. Many related works have been also done, such as DAvinCi, ROS on Android, and RoboEarth. However, when robot services are provided via computer networks, very reliable services are required to deal with short/long-term disconnection between services and robots due to wireless LAN disconnection, robot service problems,...
We have proposed the network service platform based on RSNP (Robot Service Network Protocol) as a service platform to develop network applications using real-world data. A feature of the platform is that the pseudo PUSH communication of RSNP makes it possible for service providers to implement and deploy secure services easily. This paper reports an implementation result of “The face detection server”...
In this paper, we propose the Network Service Platform (NSP), which is a framework to develop network services using real-world data efficiently, and implement its application. We implemented a prototype system based on NSP using GPS data and image data obtained from cell phones. This service integrates internet services with ubiquitous services by using the Robot Service Network Protocol (RSNP),...
The paper describes a new, open control paradigm for discrete, repetitive shop floor production, designed as a solution for agile manufacturing reengineering through (a) multi-agent robot service reconfiguring and (b) implementing the robot service access model (RSAM) in a distributed, semi-heterarchical production planning, scheduling and execution control architecture. This distributed architecture...
Robots are typically equipped with limited computing resources and robot services need to different computing requirement such as sensors, actuators, computational capabilities and time constraint of service in network-based robots. In this paper, we propose a dynamic management scheme of service contexts for network-based robots to execute various services efficiently in ubiquitous environment. By...
This paper proposes a network service platform for developing network services using real-world and virtual-world data efficiently. The proposed platform collects the data from various kinds of devices, including cell phones, sensors and robots, and provides general APIs to implement network applications and services using the data. This paper also shows an application example of the proposed platform.
This paper discusses symbiosis between humans and networked communication robots from the viewpoint of communication media. The "network robot system" integrating ubiquitous networking and robot technologies, is introduced in order to improve performance for sensing and human robot interaction and create brand new markets in the robot services. The communication robots in the system have...
