The RoboEarth Language: Representing and Exchanging Knowledge about Actions, Objects, and Environments (Extended Abstract)

چکیده
The community-based generation of content has been tremendously successful in the World Wide Web – people help each other by providing information that could be useful to others. We are trying to transfer this approach to robotics in order to help robots acquire the vast amounts of knowledge needed to competently perform everyday tasks. RoboEarth is intended to be a web community by robots for robots to autonomously share descriptions of tasks they have learned, object models they have created, and environments they have explored. In this paper, we report on the formal language we developed for encoding this information and present our approaches to solve the inference problems related to finding information, to determining if information is usable by a robot, and to grounding it on the robot platform.

RoboEarth Web-Enabled and Knowledge-Based Active Perception
In this paper we explore how a visual SLAM system and a robot knowledge base can mutually benefit from each other. The object recognition and mapping methods are used for grounding abstract knowledge and for creating a semantically annotated environment map that is available for reasoning. The knowledge base allows to reason about which object types are to be expected while exploring an environ...
متن کاملAbstract Concepts Through the Lens of Linguistic and Extra-Linguistic Knowledge
The paper deals with the rigorous methods used in the research of concepts representing abstract notions like “friendship”, “love”, “hatred”, “conscience”, and “envy”. Concepts of that kind have no visible physical support in the material world except for the sound forms of the words representing them, thus causing additional difficulties in classification, research and analysis as well as stip...
متن کاملServer-Sided Automatic Map Transformation in RoboEarth
RoboEarth aims at providing a distributed cloudbased web platform from robots for robots that is publicly accessible and enables robots to autonomously share knowledge among each other and to generate new knowledge from previously stored data. As a result robots don’t have to gain the same knowledge over and over again, but can build upon it right from the start. Currently, shareable data are a...
متن کاملExchanging Action-Related Information among Autonomous Robots
In this paper, we describe representations and inference techniques that are used in the RoboEarth system for the web-based exchange of information between robots. We present novel representations for environment maps that combine expressive semantic environment models with techniques for selecting suitable maps from the web-based RoboEarth knowledge base. We further propose techniques for impr...
متن کاملCloud based centralized task control for human domain multi-robot operations
With an increasing number of assistive robots operating in human domains, research efforts are being made to design control systems that optimize the efficiency of multi-robot operations. As part of the EU funded RoboEarth project, this paper discusses the design of such a system, where a variety of existing components are selected and combined into one cohesive control architecture. The Note t...
