Abstract

A recent novel approach to ontology of mobile robot environment (common with humans) called Affordances is compared to SOA-based Multi-Robot System based on the paradigm of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and a generic representation of the environment. A robot, and generally a cognitive and intelligent device, is seen there as a collection of its capabilities exposed as services. The environment representation (ontology) has a form of a hierarchy of object types and relations between them defining together their structure. Possibility of adopting concepts from Affordance to enhance the object description is discussed.
