Distributed cooperating processes in a mobile robot control system

摘要: A mobile inspection robot has been proposed for the NASA Space Station. It will be a free flying autonomous vehicle that leave berthing unit to accomplish variety of tasks around Station, and then return its berth recharge, refuel, transfer information. The Flying Eye receive voice communication change attitude, move at constant velocity, predefined location along self generated path. This control system requires integration traditional command techniques with number AI technologies. Speech recognition, natural language understanding, task path planning, sensory abstraction pattern recognition are all required successful implementation. interface between numeric symbolic processing technologies must developed, distributed computing approach needed meet real time requirements. To study elements this project, novel architecture simulation based on blackboard was developed. operation structure is discussed.
