Abstract :
We, RSi (Robot Service Initiative) organization, have been developing a common network based robot service platform, named RSNP (Robot Service Network Protocol) since 2004. As spreading actual use of RSNP, strong requirements are raised on the push communication in limited conditions such as fewer operators and/or limited resources, and on the robot service integration with various devices supported by the other robot platform, such as RTM (Robot Technology Middleware), particularly. In this paper, we clarified these requirements and solved them by pseudo PUSH communication method, by introducing multimedia/sensor profile and by building RSi/RTM gateway. Moreover, we evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme through the performance experiments. And also these results have been also reflected in RSNP 2.0, the latest specification.
