一种支持智能环境构建的中间件

在普适计算领域中,中间件已经成为分布式智能环境开发的关键.基于＂不动机器人＂的概念,介绍一种中间件ROS.以ROS为核心,构建了一个典型智能环境,并在信息服务能力、系统集成能力和环境感知能力3个方面对该中间件进行了实验验证.结果表明用于机器人开发的中间件在智能环境构建中具有有效性.

A Middleware for Constructing an Intelligent Environment

In the domain of ubiquitous computing, middleware is the key for development of distributed intelligent environment. Based on the concept of ＂ImmoBots＂, a middleware--ROS was introduced. By using ROS as its core, an intelligent environment was constructed. Furthermore, three main capabilities of ROS, i. e. , information service, system integration and context-awareness, were demonstrated and validated. It was proved that robotic middleware could be successfully used in the construction of intelli- gent environment.
