ControlShell: A Real-Time Software Framework.

Abstract

We are creating a new paradigm for building and maintaining complex real time software systems for the control of moving mechanical systems. This objective is being met through the simultaneous development of both a powerful software environment and cogent motion planning and control capabilities. Our research concentrates on three key areas: (1) Building an innovative, powerful real time software framework, (2) Implementing new distributed control architectures for intelligent mechanical systems, and (3) Developing distribution architectures and new algorithms for the computationally 'hard' motion planning and direction problem. Perhaps more importantly, we are working on the vertical integration of these technologies into a powerful, working system. It is only through this coordinated, cooperative approach that a truly revolutionary, usable architecture can result.
