Annotation of standard text SAE AS6060A :

This document defines a set of standard application layer interfaces called JAUS Environment Sensing Services. JAUS Services provide the means for software entities in an unmanned system or system of unmanned systems to communicate and coordinate their activities. The Environment Sensing Services represent typical environment sensing capabilities commonly found across all domains and types of unmanned systems in a platform-independent manner. At present, twelve services are defined in this document:

Range Sensor: Determine the proximity of objects in the platform’s environment


Visual Sensor: Provides common configuration and setup for different types of imaging systems


Digital Video: A type of Visual Sensor that manages digital video


Analog Video: A type of Visual Sensor that manages analog video


Still Image: A type of Visual Sensor that manages and encodes individual digital images


Digital Audio Sensor: Provides common configuration and setup for different types of audio streams


Digital Audio Output: Send streaming audio to a destination, frequently a speaker on a remote platform


Digital Resource Discovery: Support run-time discovery of RTSP-based streaming audio and video


Force Torque Sensor: Report the forces and torques measured in six degrees of freedom


H264 Video Encoding: Configure the parameters of an H.264 based video encoded stream


Port Mapper: Provides a bridge between internal and external networks, similar to Network Address Translation


Video Illuminator: Control one or more lights associated with one or more cameras


Each service is described by a JAUS Service Definition (JSD) which specifies the message set and protocol required for compliance. Each JSD is fully compliant with the JAUS Service Interface Definition Language (AS5684).
