Reliability Modeling and Analysis of Service-Oriented Robot Management System

It is an obvious trend that computer network and robot technology will more and more closely combine with each other. And the robot, especially the service robot such as house robot, entertainment robot, etc, will provide different kinds of services to the mankind. This paper introduces a service-oriented network robotic management system (SONRMS) to coordinate and manage the behaviors between robots and their users so as to provide high reliability and safety measures to users. Then SONRMS' architecture is put forward. SONRMS reliability model is described by use of stochastic reward net, reliability block datagram and hierarchical model. The influence among parameters of the system upon SONRMS reliability is analyzed in the end
