In the research community, modularity in hardware and software has been practiced in the building of service robots. However, as yet, this concept hasn’t made significant progress in the commercial market. The common information model (CIM) is a vehicle for interoperability and reusability for modular robots. Recently, the ISO published a standard about the general requirements for modularity of service robots in both the hardware and software sides including safety and security. This paper presents a common information model for modularity to make hardware modules, software modules, and hardware-software modules for modular robots. Along with that, the user’s relationship with the CIM is discussed. Examples of detailed information models using CIM are addressed.
