Abstract(s)
This paper describes the actions developed and
currently in development within the EUROAGE projects
related to the ontology-based robot reasoning in the elderly care
domain. Recent ontology-based standards were developed
(IEEE 1872-2015; IEEE 1872.2-2021; IEEE 7007-2021), and
others are currently in development (IEEE P1872.1; IEEE
P1872.3) to improve robot performance while executing tasks.
This is a very hot topic in current standardization efforts
worldwide. The elderly care domain has special characteristics
related to interactions with humans and robots living in the
same workspace. As such, robots must also commit to social and
ethical norms (IEEE 7007-2021). The robot and the actions it
can perform in such interactions are defined according to the
IEEE 1872-2015. Moreover, a semantic map of the environment
was developed (using some concepts from the IEEE 1872.2-
2021) where the robot can interact with the elder and the sensors
in the smart home. In this environment, an ontology-based
platform was developed that allows the robot to interact with
the objects, e.g., to pick a cell phone or bottle of water, using
semantic information from that environment to solve demanded
tasks. Ongoing efforts are underway to thoroughly add to the
reasoning framework of the previously stated standards and the
concepts from the IEEE 7007-2021 to ensure that the robot's
actions are ethically and socially correct.
