Ontology for Robot Programming domain

Abstract

Robot programming requires knowledge of embedded systems, mechatronics, principles of kinematics and locomotion, sensors and actuators, control algorithms, behaviour planning and communication protocols. A complexity of robotics domain underscores the need for developing a domain ontology that describes domain concepts, their properties, restrictions and relationships between concepts. The paper describes an on-going effort to develop ontology for robot programming domain, presents a draft version on ontology, describes its structure and discusses it validation.
