Development Framework for Non-experts targeting the Network Robot Service

Abstract

Robot software platforms have entered to the next stage in the business viewpoint. Robot software components are becoming readily available. Henceforth, the comfortable developing environment for non-experts is essential for spreading robot-services, which integrates various complex Robot technologies with each application field. In this paper, we propose a robot-software-framework that is useful to a variety of stakeholders who participate in the robot service development．Specifically, our proposal concept is comprised of three principal layers: execution environment integration, API integration and component technologies integration. Additionally, we present a methodology in order to achieve our concept. Along this methodology，we re-position RSI's existing technologies, also develop new component technologies necessary, prototype a verification system and show the effectiveness of our concept, finally．
