Abstract

Recently, the development costs for robot software is becoming bigger and bigger. Especially, the robots which works with humans in the home and office environment are expected to have various functions according to its user´s demand. Therefore, RT (Robotics Technology) middleware developed by AIST offers the methods to develop desired robot system by combining RT components. However, various kinds of RT components are obviously necessary. In this paper, we introduce RT components for home appliances which achieve seamless integration with robot system. Then, an example application of cooperation with a mobile robot is presented.
