Abstract
Given the wide range and diversity of proposed architectures for autonomous robotic agents, an essential role can be played by a programming environment not hardwired to any particular architecture.
This paper discusses the design of a programming environment for robotic systems, promoting rapid prototyping techniques for building different robotic architectures, while retaining a good efficiency in robot control. The environment has been conceived as the integration of a real-time robotic machine with a full-fledged logic-based system.
This work has been partially supported by CNR “Progetto Finalizzato Robotica”, “Progetto Finalizzato Sistemi Informatici e Calcolo Parallelo”, and Special Program N. 92.00065.CT12.
