K-MORE: Design of a Kinect Motion Oriented iRobotics Environment

Abstract:

Internet and cloud-based robot services have been attractive and developed. Nowadays, how to enhance the controllability of intelligent robots is an important issue for researchers. This study designs a Kinect Motion Oriented Intelligent-Robot Environment, which is called K-MORE. K-MORE is designed for easily controlling intelligent robots, which is composed of Sensing-based Interactive Robot (SIR) service platform and Cloud Environment. K-MORE is based on open service platforms, including Arduinos, Google Android, and Google App Engine (GAE). Robots not only can be controlled by a smartphone but also can be triggered by events via GAE or Ontology Case-based Reasoning (OCBR). Furthermore, users can use a smartphone to control robots. K-MORE is well-integrated with users, intelligent robots, sensors and the cloud environment. Finally, K-MORE can be an inference model for researchers when developing a robotics-based open service platform in the future.
