- Ontological concepts for information sharing in cloud roboticsPublication . Freitas, Edison Pignaton de; Olszewska, Joanna Isabelle; Carbonera, Joel Luis; Fiorini, Sandro; Khamis, Alaa; Ragavan, S. Veera; Barreto, Marcos; Prestes, Edson; Habib, Maki K.; Redfield, Signe; Chibani, Abdelghani; Gonçalves, Paulo; Bermejo-Alonso, Julita; Sanz, Ricardo; Tosello, Elisa; Olivares-Alarcos, Alberto; Konzen, Andrea Aparecida; Quintas, João; Li, HowardRecent research and developments in cloud robotics (CR) require appropriate knowledge representation to ensure interoperable data, information, and knowledge sharing within cloud infrastructures. As an important branch of the Internet of Things (IoT), these demands to advance it forward motivates academic and industrial sectors to invest on it. The IEEE ’Ontologies for Robotics and Automation’ Working Group (ORA WG) has been developing standard ontologies for different robotic domains, including industrial and autonomous robots. The use of such robotic standards has the potential to benefit the Cloud Robotic Community (CRC) as well, supporting the provision of ubiquitous intelligent services by the CR-based systems. This paper explores this potential by developing an ontological approach for effective information sharing in cloud robotics scenarios. It presents an extension to the existing ontological standards to cater for the CR domain. The use of the new ontological elements is illustrated through its use in a couple of CR case studies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work ever that implements an ontology comprising concepts and axioms applicable to the CR domain.
- Proceedings of the 1st Standardized Knowledge Representation and Ontologies for Robotics and Automation WorkshopPublication . Gonçalves, Paulo; Haidegger, Tamás; Prestes, Edson; Schlenoff, CraigWelcome to IEEE-ORA (Ontologies for Robotics and Automation) IROS workshop. This is the 1st edition of the workshop on! Standardized Knowledge Representation and Ontologies for Robotics and Automation. The IEEE-ORA 2014 workshop was held on the 18th September, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. In!the IEEE-ORA IROS workshop, 10 contributions were presented from 7 countries in North and South America, Asia and Europe. The presentations took place in the afternoon, from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM. The first session was dedicated to “Standards for Knowledge Representation in Robotics”, where presentations were made from the IEEE working group standards for robotics and automation, and also from the ISO TC 184/SC2/WH7. The second session was dedicated to “Core and Application Ontologies”, where presentations were made for core robotics ontologies, and also for industrial and robot assisted surgery ontologies. Three posters were presented in emergent applications of ontologies in robotics. We would like to express our thanks to all participants. First of all to the authors, whose quality work is the essence of this workshop. Next, to all the members of the international program committee, who helped us with their expertise and valuable time. We would also like to deeply thank the IEEE-IROS 2014 organizers for hosting this workshop. Our deep gratitude goes to the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, that sponsors! the IEEE-ORA group activities, and also to the scientific organizations that kindly agreed to sponsor all the workshop authors work.
- Robotic standard development life cycle in actionPublication . Olszewska, Joanna Isabelle; Houghtaling, Michael A.; Gonçalves, Paulo; Fabiano, Nicola; Haidegger, Tamás; Carbonera, Joel Luis; Patterson, William Remington; Ragavan, S. Veera; Fiorini, Sandro; Prestes, EdsonRobotics is a fast-growing field which requires the efficient development of adapted standards. Hence, in this paper, we propose a development methodology to support the robot standardization effort led by international, technical, and professional associations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Our proposed standard development life cycle is a middle-out, iterative, collaborative, and incremental approach we have successfully applied to the development of the new IEEE Ontological Standard for Ethically Driven Robotics and Automation Systems (IEEE P7007 Standard).
- Standard ontologies and HRIPublication . Fiorini, Sandro; Chibani, Abdelghani; Haidegger, Tamás; Carbonera, Joel Luis; Schlenoff, Craig; Malec, Jacek; Prestes, Edson; Gonçalves, Paulo; Ragavan, S. Veera; Li, Howard; Nakawala, Hirenkumar; Balakirsky, Stephen; Bouznad, Sofiane; Ayari, Noauel; Amirat, YacineAn overview of the 1872-205 IEEE standard and the efforts related to it.
- Standardizing an ontology for ethically aligned robotic and autonomous systemsPublication . Houghtaling, Michael A.; Fiorini, Sandro; Fabiano, Nicola; Gonçalves, Paulo; Ulgen, Ozlem; Haidegger, Tamás; Carbonera, Joel Luis; Olszewska, Joanna Isabelle; Page, Brian; Murahwi, Zvikomborero; Prestes, EdsonDomain-specific ontologies support system design and can establish a framework for fulfilling user-level, safety, or ethical requirements. The IEEE 7007-2021 Ontological Standard for ethically driven robotics and automation systems is the first industry standard to introduce a structure of ontologies concerning robot ethics and related fields, such as data privacy, transparency, responsibility, and accountability, offering a systems science approach to support the ethically aligned design of complex cyber–physical systems (CPSs) and robots particularly. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the main ontological commitments composing the foundation of the standard, the rationale behind their development, together with use cases of applications. Future directions for ethically aligned robotics and artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems along IEEE 7007-2021 are outlined, taking into account the exponentially growing fields of service and medical robotics.
