Re: [ontolog-forum] Software Engineering Ontology of a Robot Finger?

["Rich Cooper" <metasemantics@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found an article on a robot finger at the Kurzweil site:

A realistic bio-inspired robotic finger

Initial use is in underwater robotics

The photos seem very realistic, though a little better sculpting of the casts might make it more so.  But what do you do with a robotic finger?

 

Here is an interoperability challenge for those who want to understand the software engineering implications of a strange new development.  What would you encode into the objects, instances, methods, events, etc of an ontology that fully describes and in no way limits the finger and its subcomponents?

 

What use cases do you foresee the finger participating in?

 

Can you enumerate all the ways in which the finger instances will be used in the future?

 

I am thinking of a very valuable use case, so the test will be whether you predict my use case.
