Research on Object Model-Based Architecture for Service Robot System

An object model based software architecture for service robot system is presented, which addresses both software engineering issues such as reuse, extensibility, and management of complexity as well as system engineering issues like scalability, reactivity, and robustness. A novel approach to the service robot system architecture is discussed. Cognitive psychology is considered in designing the software system, i.e., a humans way of vision and planning is applied. The planner can incorporate the users request into its task selection mechanism and generate plans biased toward picking the most reliable task execution in a given situation, and the planner can alter task selection based on changes that occur in dynamic and uncertain environments.
