摘要：Understanding object and its context are very important for robots when dealing with objects forcompletion of a mission. In this paper, an Affordance-based Ontology (ABO) is proposed for easy robotdealing with substantive and non-substantive objects. An ABO is a machine-understandablerepresentation of objects and their relationships by what it’s related to and how it’s related. By usingABO, when dealing with a substantive object, robots can understand the representation of its object andits relation with other non-substantive objects. When the substantive object is not available, the robotshave the understanding ability, in term of objects and their functions to select a non substantive object inorder to complete the mission, such as giving raincoat or hat instead of getting stuck due to theunavailability of substantive object, e.g. umbrella. The experiment is done in the Ubiquitous RoboticsTechnology (u-RT) Space of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST),Tsukuba, Japan.
