Net-centric human-robotics operations: integration of business/military process management, grid computing, and robotics

摘要

An effort is underway to more fully integrate business/military process management (BPM) and grid computing with distributed robotics and automation capabilities. This work is a logical extension of BPM whereby process and workflow management are extended to include the configuration and reengineering of both human and software agents that collectively synchronize and coordinate both human and robotics driven activities.
