Plug-and-Play Autonomous Mobile Robot (P&PAMR)

Abstract

In a few years, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) will proliferate and become an important part of our daily lives. In this paper, we proposed a Plug-and-Play Autonomous Mobile Robot (P&PAMR) platform for the integration, discovery and invocation of mobile robots services. With the P&PAMR architecture, all AMR functionalities are exposed as Web Services that can be discovered in a service repository. A mediator service called Transport Broker can be used to act among the service requesters and the service providers guaranteeing the quality of the services.
