A central information processing system and method for service robot, with layered information structure according to recognition and reasoning level

摘要

Central to follow the information on the interior of the space and the object in the recognition / reasoning level storage to separate hierarchically and provides a space / object information for the recognition / reasoning level of integrated management by each robot to mobile service robot at room relates to an information processing system and method, that includes an at least one or more interfaces corresponding to the robot, and interpret the information request of the robot to which the interface unit corresponds to, conversion and transfer to the requested information to the robot to be interpreted form broker means, characterized in; Area information management unit according to the spatial information about the room to the recognition / reasoning level of the storage hierarchy configured by, and returns to retrieve the spatial information requested by the request of the spatial information broker means; The object information to the management unit in accordance with the objects present in the room to the recognition / reasoning level of the storage hierarchy configured by, and returns to search for the information object requested by the object request information of the broker means; Arrange for; using an upper layer recognition / information retrieval inference the lower layer information to an object or an object space and space to infer inference unit. ; By using the central information processing system and method of the service robot of the above, according to a wealth of information about the interior of the space and the object in the recognition / reasoning level management by integrating hierarchically and for recognition / reasoning level of the service robot by providing the information, a high compatibility with the service robot for various recognition / reasoning level to provide effective indoor information, and can support a low recognition / reasoning level of service higher level of recognition / reasoning also service robot. ; Indoors, robots, perception, reasoning, ontology
