In this position paper we describe how technologies from the Web of Things 
domain could help to simplify and automate the interaction between robotic 
devices and their surroundings. Specifically, we discuss how Web patterns like 
Resource-oriented Architectures or Representational State Transfer together 
with semantic metadata could help to create environments where robots 
seamlessly interact with other devices in their vicinity: Using services 
provided by other devices and offering services themselves. One of the main 
goals in the Web of Things community is to furnish smart environments with 
sensors and actuators that offer self-described interfaces and are openly 
accessible from other devices - Robots should be enabled to make use of this 
wealth of instrumentation of their surroundings!
