چکیده

We propose a generic architecture to facilitate the systematic design of autonomous, adaptive and safe applications. We specify generic modules including a trustworthiness enforcement layer dedicated to ensure the system’s functional stability as seen by the human owner. Instead of building a monolithic system, we encourage modularization based on the cognitive function of the components. A key premise is that domain knowledge is explicitly specified as a parameter of each application, with the side effect of enabling seamless integration with other remote autonomous or infrastructure applications. The design choices we have made are exemplified on a demonstrative travel management application.

A generic modular architecture for the control of an autonomous spacecraft

In this paper, we present the result of the work that has been done in the CNES-ONERA-LAAS AGATA project on a generic modular architecture for the control of an autonomous spacecraft. The main features of the proposed architecture are (1) its genericity which goes far beyond the space domain, (2) its adequacy for closed loop control of any (sub)system (state and objective tracking, decision mak...

A Distributed Control Architecture for Autonomous Operation of a Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid System

Hybrid AC/DC microgrids facilitate the procedure of DC power connection into the conventional AC power system by developing the distributed generations (DGs) technologies. The conversion processes between AC and DC electrical powers are more convenient by hybrid systems. In this paper, an energy management system (EMS) for a hybrid microgrid network is proposed due to the optimal utilization of...

HNG: a Hybrid Network-based Generic architecture for fast prototyping and evaluation of robust autonomous vehicle systems

The robotic researchers all agree that control architectures should be deliberative, reactive, robust, modular, and multi-robot. The HARPIC architecture that was developed with these ideas by GIP to show modular autonomy functionalities, had an” attention” feature that allowed the architecture to automatically switch from one algorithm to another according to the circumstances. Using the return...

Modular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls

VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...

Future study of Description System Architecture Approaches with Emphasis on Strategic Management

Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existing or to be created) called systems, in a way that supports reasoning about the structural properties of these objects. Systems Architecture is a response to the conceptual and practical difficulties of the description and the design of complex systems. Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existin...
