Abstract
Object affordances provide useful information related to understanding of human activities. The aim of this paper is to create an ontology for object affordance reasoning that can be shared across different assistive robots operating within the household domain. A novel ontology called O-PrO (Object Property Ontology) consisting of 61 household objects is presented. The ontology can be used for computing cognitive and semantic object affordances.
