Towards autonomous embedded systems

چکیده
Machines incorporating embedded systems display a trend towards increasing autonomy. In this position paper, we outline an approach for introducing autonomy in embedded system architectures. The approach involves the creation of an artificial consciousness within the machine. We propose that the artificial consciousness may be represented in the form of domain specific reference architectures. We illustrate the approach with the aid of a validated reference architecture for cooperative driving. Keywords-Autonomy, artificial consciousness, embedded systems, reference architecture

Towards vision-based safe landing for an autonomous helicopter
Autonomous landing is a challenging problem for aerial robots. An autonomous landing manoeuver depends largely on two capabilities: the decision of where to land and the generation of control signals to guide the vehicle to a safe landing. We focus on the rst capability here by presenting a strategy and an underlying fast algorithm as the computer vision basis to make a safe landing decision. T...
متن کاملTowards Translating Embedded Curry to C 1 Michael Hanus Klaus
This paper deals with a framework to program autonomous robots in the declarative multi-paradigm language Curry. Our goal is to apply a high-level declarative programming language for the programming of embedded systems. For this purpose, we use a specialization of Curry called Embedded Curry. We show the basic ideas of our framework and an implementation that translates Embedded Curry programs...
متن کاملGolog.lua: Towards a Non-Prolog Implementation of Golog for Embedded Systems
Among many approaches to address the high-level decision making problem for autonomous robots and agents, the robot programming and plan language Golog follows a logic-based deliberative approach, and its successors were successfully deployed in a number of robotics applications over the past ten years. Usually, Golog interpreter are implemented in Prolog, which is not available for our target ...
متن کاملThe Flying Gator: Towards Aerial Robotics in occam-π
The Flying Gator is an unmanned aerial vehicle developed to support investigations regarding concurrent and parallel control for robotic and embedded systems. During ten weeks in the summer of 2010, we designed, built, and tested an airframe, control electronics, and a concurrent firmware capable of sustaining autonomous level flight. Ultimately, we hope to have a robust, open source control sy...
متن کاملAutonomous Multicamera Tracking on Embedded Smart Cameras
There is currently a strong trend towards the deployment of advanced computer vision methods on embedded systems. This deployment is very challenging since embedded platforms often provide limited resources such as computing performance, memory, and power. In this paper we present a multicamera tracking method on distributed, embedded smart cameras. Smart cameras combine video sensing, processi...
