Abstract
We present RoboCoP — a new intercommunication protocol for building service-oriented robotic software. Other SOA systems are rather straightforward applications of service-oriented approach to robotics. The design of RoboCoP-based software exploits peculiarities of robotics, and provides a simple and scalable way to create control systems. RoboCoP is especially useful in scientific and educational areas, it simplifies the cooperation of developers and allows the iterative complication of the system we create. We give a detailed description of RoboCoP architecture; provide various examples of RoboCoP-based systems, including the control system for Eurobot competition; and adduce comparison to other robot control systems.
