Abstract :
In this paper we propose a platform for interconnecting robots that are different in terms of capabilities, hardware, and software. We define a software representation for a robot and for a mission and we discuss possible implementations for three types of robots. The platform exposes a service through which other applications can control different types of robots through a unified interface.
