ISO MODULARITY FOR SERVICE ROBOTS

摘要

Robot modularity has been an active area of research for several years and many innovative solutions have been developed which have as yet, not made significant impact on the world stage. To assist market developments, ISO robot modularity standardization was started in 2012 and the current paper presents an overview of the work to develop plug-n-play robot module specifications for service robots. Key definitions are presented together with generic modularization issues which have been identified for service robots.
