The Context-Awareness for the Network-based Intelligent Robot Services

Abstract

As the context-aware computing gets more and more interests, attempts applying it to diverse kinds of research fields have been tried. However, the development of the contextaware intelligent application in the robot field has rarely been carried out. In order that the service robot comes into our daily lives like the electric home appliances or mobile devices, it has to provide the context-aware intelligent services to a user. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the context-awareness for a network-based service robot. For this, we define the functional requirements and implementation issues of the context-aware framework and propose the layered conceptual architecture. And then, we describe how proposed conceptual architecture was implemented to the CAMUS which is a context-aware framework for the network-based service robots. Finally, we introduce various kinds of robot services which were developed by using the CAMUS. As a result of
