dc.description.abstract | This master project aimed to explore, research, develop and evaluate the design
and creation of control software for simulated autonomous transport robots. A
proof of concept were to be created using the Reactive Blocks tool and the OSGi
framework. Through literature study and development, a highly modularized system
design was created, fit to tackle the problem domain. It allowed for the
development of a modifiable control system able to move a simulated robot from
a position to another using simulated robot components. The prototype renders a
simulated robot on the screen, where it can be observed moving to a destination
specified by the user of the system. The two technologies, Reactive Blocks and
OSGi, were merged successfully to handle the complexity of a real-time robotics
system consisting of several concurrent, independent sub-systems. | |
