چکیده

Robotic systems and their software design are based on the same principles found in other computer applications. However, while many computer systems to date are deeply rooted in concepts such as multi-processing, multi-threads, modularity, etc., robotic systems are still limited by mono-processing, centralized designs. This paper addresses these limitations by proposing a new philosophy for robotic system software design software infrastructure that allows for the design of an e cient, modular, fault-tolerant, and distributed software architecture. Two examples of this infrastructure applied to mobile robot navigation are also discussed.

Robotics software frameworks for multi-agent robotic systems development

Robotics is an area of research inwhich the paradigmofMulti-Agent Systems (MAS) can prove to be highly useful. Multi-Agent Systems come in the form of cooperative robots in a team, sensor networks based on mobile robots, and robots in Intelligent Environments, to name but a few. However, the development of Multi-Agent Robotic Systems (MARS) still presents major challenges. Over the past decade,...

Dynamics of Macro–Nano Mechanical Systems; Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method

The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...

Software Solutions for Distributed Autonomous Multi-Functional Robotics in Space

1. Abstract Robotics systems in space must deal with a host of software challenges in addition to and amplified by the challenges of a hostile space environment and the remoteness in which they operate. Software automation has been used to good effect in managing some of these challenges to control single robotic systems, even multi-functional systems, in previous unmanned missions without the ...
