Abstract
An implicit frontier have traditionally existed between services available online and those that can be offered by mechanical devices such as robots. However, many applications can benefit from the convergence of these two worlds. In this paper, we present BRIDGE, a knowledge technologies-based multi-agent system for joining together Web and robot-provided services. The fundamentals of the framework and its architecture are explained and a traffic control-related use case scenario described.
