Abstract
Most of the environments where mobile robots are deployed offer a comprehensive networking infrastructure. In order to take part of these environments, mobile robots must enhance not only their communication capabilities, but also their interaction capabilities. Current robotic frameworks are oriented to gather data from the robotic sensors and to act on the robot's actuators. In other words, such frameworks are oriented to perform embedded control functions. In order to provide mobile robots with enhanced interaction capabilities robotic applications must rely on networking solutions focusing on integration, communication, and security. This paper presents a platform for networked robotics that favors the integration of mobile robots with other networked devices, providing a secure and federated access to the mobile robots. (AU)
