Ontology-Based Interaction of Mobile Robots for Coalition Creation

摘要

Popularity of research in the area of robotics over the last years opens new tasks to develop in the area of intelligent behavior of robots for coalition creation and joint tasks solving by them. The article presents an approach to ontology-based mobile robots interaction for coalition creation. The approach is based on cyber-physical-social system concept where the physical devices interact in smart space with each other and with humans for implementing joint actions in physical space. In scope of the approach the context-based model for mobile robot interaction, the ontological model of a mobile robot, and the method for robot ontology matching have been developed. The ontology formally represents knowledge as a set of concepts within a domain, using a shared vocabulary to denote the types, properties, and interrelationships of those concepts. The presented approach has been approved by the point exploring and obstacles overcoming case study. Mobile robots have been constructed based on the Lego Mindstorms EV3 educational kit.
