Context-Aware Server Framework for Network-based Service Robots

摘要

URC (ubiquitous robotic companion) is a new concept for a network-based service robot system. In this paper, we introduce CAMUS (context-aware middleware for URC systems) which is a server framework to support context-aware services for network-based robots. We discuss two major components of CAMUS: CAMUS main server and service agent manager. The communication framework is also proposed to support the communication between robots and CAMUS. We expect that CAMUS will be utilized to develop ubiquitous computing applications for network based service robot, the smart space and the personal assistant software
