This document discusses a FIWARE-based robot management platform called RoboEcBaseTM. It summarizes that the coming aging society will require reliance on service robots for daily life support. The platform aims to realize collaboration between robots, people, and environments to improve productivity and support the elderly effectively. The platform uses FIWARE and Kubernetes and has been implemented and tested. It is open source on GitHub and will be contributed as a FIWARE enabler.

(Almost 28% of Japan’s total populaEon was 65 or older in 2018.) We cannot avoid to rely on the service robots in our daily life. hbps://data.oecd.org/pop/working-age-populaEon.htm

All rights reserved. 6 The gap between ideal and reality toward service robots Ideal of Service Robots: • improve our producEvity • support and watch over elderly people Reality of Service Robots: • exist not much to help our daily complicated tasks One of this reasons: The service robots are currently unconsidered communicaEng with heterogeneous robots made by different manufacturers. Therefore, a high funcEonality and complicated robot is required although the collaboraEon of various simple robots is effecEve.

One is FIWARE and the other is Kubernetes. https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/deploy-app/deploy-intro/ hbps://www.fiware.org/developers/ FIWARE Kubernetes

A de facto standard for OSS container orchestraEon Today, Kubernetes has become a de facto standard container orchestrator. Highly advanced infrastructure powered by Kubernetes Because Kubernetes hides the durable and effecEve but complicated infrastructure, we can easily use the highly advanced infrastructure powered by Kubernetes if we ride a Kubernetes way. Once you wrote, you can run on any infrastructure Once we wrote a definiEon files to deploy our Robot PlaPorm, we can deploy it on any Kubernetes. We no longer need to worry about hardware or cloud.

In that society, we cannot avoid to rely on the service robots in our everyday life. The collaboraEon of robots, people and environments The collaboraEon of robots, people and environments will help us to improve our producEvity and to support the elderly people effecEvely. Our Robot PlaPorm is aimed to realize this concept. Our Robot PlaLorm will be ready to use We have been developed a Robot PlaPorm and performed an experiment to probe our concept. Our Robot PlaPorm has been open-sourced on Github and we will make it a FIWARE Enabler. Please try if you are interested in.
