Abstract: In this paper we describe our approach to enhancing control of robotic systems by providing domain and policy services via KAoS. Recently developed languages such as OWL provide a powerful descriptive logic foundation that can be used to express semantically rich relationships between entities and actions, and thus create complex context sensitive policies. KAoS provides a tool to create policies using OWL and an infrastructure to enforce these policies on robots. We contend that a policy-based approach can provide significant advantages in controlling robotic systems and is a much more natural way for operators to interact with and manage multiple robots. 1.
