Architectural Aspects of Networked Robotic Systems

Abstract

This paper presents a simplified architectural descrip-the sense that no special a priori knowledge by the people tion for the urban surveillance experiment under development within is to be required for the interaction with the robots. The the URUS project.surveillance application will be tested at the north campus The description contains two views in the computational viewpoint of Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya (see Figure 1 for a that are also applicable to other classes of network robotics problems. These are a functional layer through which the system has basis set of views) in a square area of approximately 100 meters operational capabilities, and a human layer that concentrates the long side length. Around 20 IP cameras are placed outside the systems related to human-robot interaction.buildings to cover most of the test area. These cameras provideKeywords: Networked Robots, Robot Control Architecture, the information for detecting emergency conditions, people Architectural Description activities, and robot localization, among other functionalities. The photos show a regular surface that poses no special

Implementation of Robotic Navigation Algorithms Using Partial Reconfiguration on Zynq SoC

“…S. Commuri et al has proposed an approach, which allows for the development of efficient controllers for each robot task, allowing for improved operational efficiency by using fixed computer complexity, several case studies in which a group of robots is deployed and their behavior is dynamically adjusted at runtime, validated with this method and efficiency of FPGA resource has been presented (10). A simplified architectural description for the urban surveillance experiment under development within the URUS project is a functional layer through which the system has basic operational capabilities, and the authors present a human layer that concentrates the systems related to human-robot interaction (11). J.C.Palma et al has tried to present an approach to solve problems related to the dynamic interconnection of hard IP cores reuse and configuration inside VLSI reconfigurable devices with data path widths greater than 1 bit (12).…”

The ISTeC People-Animals-Robots laboratory: Robust resource allocation

“…A sophisticated Human/Animal/Machine Interface (HAMI) would allow effective communication between team members. For example, the work in [14] describes a network architecture for robotic systems that are tasked to assist humans depart an area under emergency circumstances. These robots are constrained by a requirement to operate with humans in a "natural way".…”
