Component Specifications for Robotics Integration

May 1, 1999
Author(s)
Elena R. Messina, John A. Horst, Thomas R. Kramer, Hui-Min Huang, John L. Michaloski
Robotics researchers have been unable to capitalize easily on existing software components to speed up their development e orts and maximize their system's capabilities. A component-based approach for building the software for robotics systems can provide

Mission Structure for an Unmanned Vehicle

September 1, 1998
Author(s)
A Meystel, Yigal Moscovitz, Elena R. Messina
The 4-D/Real-Time Control Systems Architecture (4- D/RCS) defines a hierarchical decomposition for intelligent systems, with corresponding command and control pathways. In order to design the vehicle¿s behavior generation functions, we developed a set of
