This paper discusses the design and implementation of "SPAK", a Java-based software platform to support the knowledge processing in symbiotic network-aware robots. SPAK features frame-based knowledge management, a GUI knowledge building tool, forward and backward chaining engines, networking support, and class libraries for building mobile agent components. Beside the robotic applications, SPAK can be used as a general-purpose frame system as well. Experimental applications of SPAK in human-robot interaction, and gourmet advisor system for mobile users are also described.
