Ubiquitous robot S/W platform and its application: AnyRobot Studio and AnyKids Service

The standardized data may easily move within a network and connect to other systems without any time or geographical limitations. This concept is fundamental to the idea of the ubiquitous robot. But the definitions of the ubiquitous robot or networked robot appear in different forms all over the world. This paper discusses those definitions briefly including the approach of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd (SEC). Here we present a ubiquitous robotic S/W platform, AnyRobot Studio which covers all the aspects of this ubiquitous robot system. Based on the concepts of RUPI, URC, and Web 2.0, AnyRobot Studio aims to standardize the platforms and protocols, and to strongly encourage the participation of users and contents providers (CPs). AnyKids Service is made to test the feasibility of the AnyRobot based on the AnyRobot Studio platform.
