Hierarchically Distributing Embedded Systems for Improved Autonomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Distribution of functionality among nodes is a contemporary research issue for embedded systems, e.g. in the field of autonomous mobile robot groups. In such groups, the concept of distribution is mainly used to achieve flexibility and robustness that could not be reached by a single robot. Here it will be used as a design-paradigm for a robot’s internal architecture. In this paper, a hierarchically distributed robot architecture will be introduced which leads to an improved autonomy of the overall system.

Towards autonomous embedded systems
Machines incorporating embedded systems display a trend towards increasing autonomy. In this position paper, we outline an approach for introducing autonomy in embedded system architectures. The approach involves the creation of an artificial consciousness within the machine. We propose that the artificial consciousness may be represented in the form of domain specific reference architectures. ...

Embedded systems are being increasingly utilized to enable autonomous behavior in machines. Embedded system architectures must therefore keep pace with the autonomy requirements. In this position paper, we outline an architectural approach to complement the most commonly utilized principles for architecting embedded systems, like decentralization, separation of concerns and loose coupling betwe...

Embedded systems are pervasive; according to a market study 98 % of the 4.4 billion microprocessors and microcontrol units produced in 1997 were used for embedded applications. Advances in sensor technologies, low-power devices, and wireless communication will most likely reinforce this trend. Embedded systems are generally viewed as reactive systems, they are expected to monitor changes in the...
متن کاملToward Distributing Autonomy over Robot Teams
This paper presents a way to command a system of systems robustly as a single entity. Instead of modeling each component system in isolation and then manually crafting interaction protocols, this approach starts with a model of the collective population as a single system. By compiling the model into separate elements for each component system and utilizing a teamwork model for coordination, it...
