Distributed Robotic: a Language Approach

Summary

In this paper we present a powerful and versatile architecture dedicated for robotic and mechatronic systems. The originalities of our study are, (i) that we consider a robot with a dynamic and explicit language approach and (ii) that the communication aspects are abstracted and take place as a natural part in the language. This approach allows easy transfers towards other fields of research like network of sensors, ambient intelligence and ubiquitous robotic. These works concern low-cost micro-system easy to embed in little mechatronic devices. For demonstration of the effectiveness of our architecture and developing tools, we have implemented it in the maam robot which is a reconfigurable robot composed of several modules autonomous for CPU, energy and motion. Some results can be found in the last part.
