Scalable Self-Adaptation Control system for simulated transport robots
Abstract
This master project aimed to explore, research, develop and evaluate the designand creation of control software for simulated autonomous transport robots. Aproof of concept were to be created using the Reactive Blocks tool and the OSGiframework. Through literature study and development, a highly modularized systemdesign was created, fit to tackle the problem domain. It allowed for thedevelopment of a modifiable control system able to move a simulated robot froma position to another using simulated robot components. The prototype renders asimulated robot on the screen, where it can be observed moving to a destinationspecified by the user of the system. The two technologies, Reactive Blocks andOSGi, were merged successfully to handle the complexity of a real-time roboticssystem consisting of several concurrent, independent sub-systems.
