Abstract: The method of combining service robot and intelligent space can extend robot’s sensing and decision-making ability, reduce robot’s burden. This paper completes the design of service robot intelligent space software-platform based on UPnP middleware, adopts the service-oriented architecture plus multi-agent application model, implements various intelligent devices and robots by using service as basic unit, and designs a central-node to schedule and manage service robot intelligent space from a global perspective. Experiments show that the software-platform had many merits such as robust performance, high degree of dynamic adaption, loose-coupled device, good expandability, et al. The research has laid a sound foundation for the further study and practicality of service robot intelligent space.
