Standard

This community group will discuss the applications of web browsers as the computer for controlling robots (robotics, in other words). And it will be also intended to feedback knowledge obtained from this discussion to standardization activity about Web of Things.What kinds of values are contained in using a Web browser not only in drawing graphical user interface but also in controlling and manipulating robots, and what kinds of difficulties and problems are there in that case? To search their answers may become the driving force of this activity.As an example, there may be the following questions in the discussion:Is a case applying a Web browser as a simple controller of the robots which does not have UI such as screens or the pointing devices still meaningful? For example, connectivity with web services and interlocking operation between robots (Swarm Robotics via web) may be one of its values.Is it possible to relate a graphical user interface of HTML to interactive and physical user interface of the robots? Is it meaningful? As an example, a relation between a physical push button and 'input' type="button" element in the HTML may deserve considering.Are cases using relatively low-level interface used in many robots such as PWM of the motor, digital or analog signal interfaces, I2C, SPI, UART and GPIOs by the application on the web browsers meaningful?Is real-time computing at the same level as RTOS feasible on the web browser-based general-purpose computing environments?An initial related activity is the Mozilla Factory Open Hardware Project.Furthermore, this group may publish specifications based on those knowledge such as webGPIO, webI2C API and so on.

This standard extends the IEEE 1873-2015™ Standard for Robot Map Data Representation from two-dimensional (2D) maps to three-dimensional (3D) maps.

This Guide for Verification of Autonomous Systems enables the user to define a customized process for verification of their autonomous system based on their available resources. It documents best practices across all levels of abstraction within a given system.

"Nudges" as exhibited by robotic, intelligent or autonomous systems are defined as overt or hidden suggestions or manipulations designed to influence the behavior or emotions of a user. This standard establishes a delineation of typical nudges (currently in use or that could be created). It contains concepts, functions and benefits necessary to establish and ensure ethically driven methodologies for the design of the robotic, intelligent and autonomous systems that incorporate them.

This standard defines an ontology that allows for the representation of, reasoning about, and communication of task knowledge in the robotics and automation domain. This ontology includes key terms as well as their definitions, attributes, types, structures, properties, constraints, and relationships. It will address the way that hierarchical planners represent task knowledge which will allow them to better communicate among levels of the ontology hierarchy.

A set of ontologies with different abstraction levels that contain concepts, definitions, axioms, and use cases that assist in the development of ethically driven methodologies for the design of robots and automation systems is established by this standard.

A map data representation of environments of a mobile robot performing a navigation task is specified in this standard. It provides data models and data formats for two-dimensional (2D) metric and topological maps.

This standard extends IEEE Std 1872-2015, IEEE Standard for Ontologies for Robotics and Automation, to represent additional domain-specific concepts, definitions, and axioms commonly used in Autonomous Robotics (AuR). This standard is general and can be used in many ways--for example, to specify the domain knowledge needed to unambiguously describe the design patterns of AuR systems; to represent AuR system architectures in a unified way; or as a guideline to build autonomous systems consisting of robots operating in various environments.

A core ontology that specifies the main, most general concepts, relations, and axioms of robotics and automation (R&A) is defined in this standard, which is intended as a reference for knowledge representation and reasoning in robots, as well as a formal reference vocabulary for communicating knowledge about R&A between robots and humans. This standard is composed of a core ontology about R&A, called CORA, together with other ontologies that give support to CORA.

ISO/TS 15066:2016 specifies safety requirements for collaborative industrial robot systems and the work environment, and supplements the requirements and guidance on collaborative industrial robot operation given in ISO 10218‑1 and ISO 10218‑2.ISO/TS 15066:2016 applies to industrial robot systems as described in ISO 10218‑1 and ISO 10218‑2. It does not apply to non-industrial robots, although the safety principles presented can be useful to other areas of robotics.NOTE This Technical Specification does not apply to collaborative applications designed prior to its publication
