Robots will take your internet

The idea behind the project made robots able to share information.Robots may soon have an equivalent to the internet and Wikipedia. European scientists have embarked on a project that would allow robots to share and store information to discover the world.

RoboEarth, will be a place where robots can download data when they solve a task and ask for assistance to resolve new work.

The scientists behind the idea to expect that this will allow robots are useful in more quickly, armed with a library knowledge on their human masters.

The RoboEarth idea is to develop methods to help the Androids encoding, Exchange and reuse knowledge, he told the BBC the Dr. Markus Waibel from the Swiss Federal Institute of technology, participating in the project.

«More recent robots see the world in its own way and there is little standardization,» he said. Most researchers use robots develop their own way of construction of this machine to build a set of data on the world.

This fact guarantees Waibel, which is very difficult that robots will share knowledge and research to advance more quickly because that begin the same problems of problems.

RoboEarth would be like Wikipedia for robots

But RoboEarth should be able to show how information androids discovered the world can be defined in such a way to use other robots.

RoboEarth is a communication system and a database explains the researcher.

The database will have maps of the locations where robots operate, descriptions of objects that are and the instructions at the end of various actions.

The human equivalent would be Wikipedia, said Waibel.

"Wikipedia is something that humans use to share knowledge that anyone can edit, contribute and access." "Something similar does not exist for robots", he said.

It would be great, he says, if a robot could enter a place that had pas visited before, see RoboEarth to learn more about this place and objects and tasks into it and then start working.

There are other projects seeking to achieve the standard of how the world perceive the Androids, RoboEarth creators say they go beyond.

"The key is to allow robots to share knowledge." "This is really new," said Waibel.

RoboEarth could become a tool for the growing number of domestic robots could become a feature of the houses in the coming decades.

EU-funded project was approximately 35 researchers working on it and hope to prove that it works for when completing four years of the initiative.
