Service robot, web service, resource service access, middleware technology
As the development of the network and distributed technology enhances, network resources around service robots are more and more. With their help, service robots can complete much more complex tasks. To solve the problem of coordination among heterogeneous robots and resources, Web services as a middleware is employed to generate both the skeleton and stub for robots to invoke services from any resources as a universal way. To make the service invocation more intelligent, the potential relationships between Ontology Web Language for Services (OWL-S) and Web Services Description Language (WSDL) are utilized to realize the automation on service invocation logics so that the robots can automatically generate messages of invoking service based on its understanding for service descriptions. Experimental results demonstrate that the methods are valid.
