This paper presents a design experience of a supervisory control system for coordination of multiple robotic devices. To effectively program job commands, a Petri net-type graphical robot language(PGRL) is proposed, where some functions for coordination among tasks such as concurrency and synchronization, can be easily programmed. Each task of PGRL is described by employing formal model languages, which are composed of three modules, sensory, data handling, and action module. It is expected that by using our proposed PGRL and formal model languages, one can efficiently describe a job or task, and hence can easily operate a complex real-time concurrent system. The proposed control system has been implemented by using VME-based 32-bit microprocessor boards and a real-time multitasking operating system (VxWorks), and is shown to successfully work for robotic jobs.

This paper proposes a method of 3-dimensional measurement of a planar surface by using two fixed light sources and a TV camera. A set of two images is recorded by the camera switching on each light alternately. The peak of the luminance distribution in each image is detected, and the orientation and distance of the planar surface are calculated. The position of the peak of a luminance distribution can be estimated accurately by using an image processing. The light sources can be conventional apparatus with no particular structure. The method is simple and suitable for a vision system on an indoor mobile robot.

The construction and analysis of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) subnets is discussed. It is shown that hierarchical time-extended Petri nets (H-EPNs) allow the development of structured MIMO subnets through the use of bottom-up Petri net synthesis techniques. The paper analyzes Petri net extensions that allow a truly hybrid approach to Petri net based systems modeling, analysis and development. The case study emphasizes the advantage of the activator arc extension in studying issues such as static priority scheduling, dynamic failure recognition, and rescheduling in manufacturing systems. The SPNP package, suitably modified to handle the H-EPN extensions, is used to analyze the properties of the derived H-EPN model.
