AITEC Contract Research Projects in FY1997 : Abstract

(18) Concurrent and Cooperative Control Software Systems for Mobile Robots

Principal Investigator : Fumio Mizoguchi, Professor
Science University of Tokyo


This research proposes a concurrent and cooperative programming method for mobile robots using KL1, and provides the utility of KL1 and KL1-based robot languages. The resulting method and system includes (1) a hierarchical model of robotic agents such as individual robots and sensors where each agent can be specified in a unified manner, (2) an agent language R2 for describing agents based on the hierarchical model, (3) an agent specification pattern D2, and (4) a compiler translating a R2-D2 program into a KL1 program.
Owing to this robot language and system based on KL1, KL1 can be applicable to robot control and multiagent languages as well as knowledge processing languages.
