Abstract

This document presents an ontology-based communication interface dedicated for an autonomous mobile platform (AMP). All data between the Platform and other controllers such as PCs or AMPs are exchanged using standardized services. This solution not only allows the required measurement information and its states to be received from an AMP but also control of the Platform. The first advantage is that all of the information is available through an XML file. The second advantage is better possibility for controlling the AMP using external machines that can monitor the route of the AMP. In the case of avoiding obstacles, an external machine can, with the existing sensors and services, help the AMP come back via the correct route. The structure for the data for the Platform is described as set of standardized services such as information about the existing configuration and the status of any installed sensors. The XML format helps to structure information by adding metadata. To create a fully functioning system, it is necessary to add a semantic model (relations between the elements and services) of the AMP services. This paper describes one possible solution for creating ontology model, using the current configuration, services for monitor and services for control of the AMP.
