Defining positioning in a core ontology for robotics

Abstract

Abstract-Unambiguous definition of spatial position and orientation has crucial importance for robotics. In this paper we propose an ontology about positioning. It is part of a more extensive core ontology being developed by the IEEE RAS Working Group on ontologies for robotics and automation. The core ontology should provide a common ground for further ontology development in the field. We give a brief overview of concepts in the core ontology and then describe an integrated approach for representing quantitative and qualitative position information.

Using Ontologies in Autonomous Robots Engineering

“…This knowledge is then specialized by CORA with classes such as Robot or Robotic System. Other ontologies defined in this standard are the position (POS) ontology [9] that captures the main concepts and relations regarding the position, orientation, and pose which are key elements for robot navigation and manipulation, and the RPARTS ontology that provides a set of specific types of roles that specialize the general role of robot parts.…”

Toward a standard ontology of surgical process models

“…The two first cover interaction and robot parts, respectively. The latter (POS ontology) [6] presents the concepts of position, orientation and pose. These concepts are of extreme importance in R&A.…”

Knowledge and Tasks Representation for an Industrial Robotic Application

“…The standard is focused on a set of Core Ontologies for Robotics and Automation (CORA), where ontologies were developed for Robot Definitions, Parts, and Position [7]. From the represented knowledge, using ontologies, is then possible to reason with robots, the environment and human co-workers, to jointly perform tasks.…”
