Abstract
IFR forecasts and the conducted literature analysis prove that part of
the research should be focused on adapting the companion robot to moving
around in open space in external conditions. There is a visible interest
in the use of robotic devices in the care and assistance of the elderly
or disabled people. However, the external environment still contains
many obstacles and barriers. According to the authors, the solution to
some of the problems related to movement in outdoor conditions would be
to communicate the companion robot with the road infrastructure, inter
alia, via IoRT (Internet of Robotic Things). This is why the purpose of
this article is to present the concept of communication of the companion
robot with the road infrastructure.
