Intelligent pipelined control architecture for remote robotic applications

A new pipelined architecture for autonomous and semiautonomous space robotics systems is described. The architecture uses new concepts which significantly facilitate the overall system performance and leads to an effective functional partitioning between base and remote parts of the system. The base system which is based on a set of parameterized primitives, provides detailed planning and the remote site provides final command binding and resource management. The primitives are then directed to the intelligent manipulation controllers that perform the required manipulation. A proof-of-principle implementation at the JPL Telerobotic laboratory demonstrated the practical efficiency of the pipelined architecture in the context of supervised autonomous robotics operations.

A run-time control architecture for the JPL telerobot

An architecture for implementing the process-level decision making for a hierarchically structured telerobot currently being implemented at the Jet Propolusion Laboratory (JPL) is described. Constraints on the architecture design, architecture partitioning concepts, and a detailed description of the existing and proposed implementations are provided.
