These devices feed off information from smart sensors, maps and calculations, based on algorithms, and perceive the environment using complex techniques.
  • a robot has to generate its own universal identifier by itself, forcing it to incorporate the logic or electronics needed to internally generate that identifier (for example, with a software algorithm for generating UUIDs or with a reverse-polarized diode as a hardware random number generator) or use an external service to be generated, and thus obtain the internal identifier to add it to the device's own internal memory.
  • identifier for example, with a software algorithm for generating UUIDs or with a reverse-polarized diode as a hardware random number generator

  • the Spatial Object Identifier (SOID) architecture is an architecture for collecting, recording, resolving, cataloging, and disseminating PIDs associated with spatial data published by remote geospatial information systems.
  • One of the most popular interfaces is the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Feature Server (WFS) specification.
  • the persistent identifier can be identified by a unique resource identifier (URI) as UUID and also as an OID or a DID, so that it can be used by external applications to refer to it.
  • URI unique resource identifier

  • OIDs are an identifier mechanism standardized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and ISO/IEC to identify any object, concept or "thing" with a globally unambiguous persistent name.
  • OIDs are paths in a tree structure, where the leftmost number represents the root and the number on the right represents a leaf. Each OID is created by a Registration Authority. Each of these authorities may, in turn, delegate the allocation of new OIDs to other registration authorities, and so on.

Therefore, new solutions are necessary to address these problems.
