Abstract
Service development platform
We propose a framework for forming the development of object delivery services provided through cooperation among heterogeneous robots and sensors. For this, we extended the previous framework based on 4W1H abstraction to develop informative and physical robotic services. The proposed framework abstracts information about sensors and robots as 4W data for users, objects and robots, robotic functions, and property data of robots and objects. We then develop physical services done one by one in combination with service information. We also describe the service application development platform based on the framework. Experimental results show that service applications can be efficiently developed by using the service application development platform.
