Abstract:
Owing to the bottle-necks of software and hardware,it is always difficult to empower a single robot with various kinds of functions and intelligence to deal with complicated situations and demands.Meanwhile,robots are surrounded by various kinds of equipment and devices,which however,can not be utilized by robot itself as useful resources so far.The reason is analyzed in this paper,with emphasis on some key technologies to solve the problem.Based on analysis and comparison of the current technologies in some related research fields such as UPnP,Web services and Jini,primary resolutions are proposed and tested in order that even a low-cost single robot can utilize such kinds of resources as freely as possible,thus breaking through the restrictions of robot itself and opening up a new way to expand robot capacity.
