Abstract:
The steady rise of mobile computing devices and wireless networks has ushered a growing interest in Distributed Systems and Applications using loosely coupled Services in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), that gives users more convenience with services specific to their preferences, behavior and local environment. In this work we present a SOA for Service Robots as components and applications and the functional and structural features of the architecture have been described. Development of a General Application Framework based on SOA for a Robust Conflict free Robot Navigation System that can be used in all environments employing open systems, open standards and open source is being proposed here to provide a basis for research and development of complete systems and solutions specifically targeted for Service Robot applications. An example Service using Telematics and Web service techniques illustrates the efficient service invocation and interaction in the SOA.
