Execution monitoring in robotics: A survey

Execution monitoring in robotics: A survey

Research on execution monitoring in its own is still not very common within the field of robotics and autonomous systems. It is more common that researchers interested in control architectures or execution planning include monitoring as a small part of their work when they realize that it is needed. On the other hand, execution monitoring has been a well studied topic within industrial control,...

Model-Free Execution Monitoring in Behavior-Based Mobile Robotics

In this paper we present a model-free execution monitor for behavior-based mobile robots. By modelfree we mean that the monitoring is based only on the actual execution, without involving any predictive models of the controlled system. Model-free monitors are especially suitable for systems where it is hard to obtain adequate models. In our approach we analyze the activation levels of the diffe...

Developmental robotics: a survey

Developmental robotics is an emerging field located at the intersection of robotics, cognitive science and developmental sciences. This paper elucidates the main reasons and key motivations behind the convergence of fields with seemingly disparate interests, and shows why developmental robotics might prove to be beneficial for all fields involved. The methodology advocated is synthetic and two-...

Survey of execution monitoring tools for computer clusters

Effective management and utilization of large computer clusters requires suitable management tools. This includes tools for monitoring execution, both in real-time (online) and analysis of traces after execution (off-line). Execution monitoring also involves measuring usage of system resources, such as CPU, memory and network. As cluster monitoring is tightly related to administration, some of ...
