Service oriented architecture for mobile robot localization

摘要

Sensors networks with some intelligence have been proposed for supporting mobile robot navigation systems in indoor environments. However, a standard method of communication among the sensor networks and the mobile robots still doesn't exist and the introduction of new robots in a certain environment can be a difficult task. In this paper, we present a practical example that uses the emerging standard Web Services technology for communication and seamless integration of mobile robots and intelligent sensor networks, which is used for robot localization purposes.
