摘要

具身智能与机器人物联网的发展呈现自主化、协同化和多模态融合的趋势，大量异构具身智能体接入物联网系统，对网络架构的互操作性和安全性提出了更高要求，面对传统协议在语义表达与动态上下文适应性上的局限，本文引入并系统阐述了模型上下文协议（Model Context Protocol

MCP）作为统一“语义控制平面”的核心作用。我们提出并详细构建了“Context→QoS/Sec 编译器”这一创新框架，旨在将高层任务意图与环境上下文（包括优先级、时延抖动容忍度、安全敏感等级等）精确、可验证地映射至底层数据平面（如ROS2/DDS、OPC UA/TSN、5G/6G）的实时服务质量（QoS）参数与安全侧写。我们进一步聚焦当前研究面临的深层挑战，包括代价模型的可识别性、异构约束的同构化、系统可验证性与可解释性、以及工程演化中的稳定性与最优性权衡，并针对性地提出了未来可行的研究路线。

Abstract

The development of embodied intelligence and the robotic Internet of Things (IoT) is characterized by increasing autonomy

collaboration

and multimodal fusion. The large-scale integration of heterogeneous embodied intelligent agents into IoT systems poses higher requirements for interoperability

and security in network architectures. In this context

the introduction of a unified Model Context Protocol (MCP) to standardize device capability descriptions and task interactions has become essential. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of MCP in the integration of embodied intelligence and robotic IoT. The core concepts of MCP and its roles in multimodal perception

communication

computation

and control collaboration are introduced. The challenges in standardization

scalability

and cross-domain adaptation are summarized

and future research directions are discussed. Studies indicate that MCP has the potential to significantly enhance resource utilization efficiency

task execution coordination

and system security in embodied intelligence and robotic IoT

providing a unified protocol foundation for next-generation intelligent IoT systems.
