Abstract
As robots are expected to accomplish human-level manipulation tasks, the demand for formal knowledge representation techniques and reasoning for robots increases dramatically. In this paper we describe how to make use of heterogeneous ontologies in service robotics. To illustrate the vision, we take the action of pouring as an example.
