In this paper we discuss synchronization techniques-and specifically their implementation at the hardware, operating system and high-level language levels-that can be used to achieve deadline satisfaction. In particular, it is shown that by endowing process control computers with fully parallel input and output mechanisms making use of exact time specifications, synchronization and deadline satisfaction can be achieved at the same time without any jitter. Continuous multimedia applications require accurate synchronization of the clocks in different processors. The available solutions have considerable accuracy or applicability. Local clock synchronization by radio transmitted time information turns out to be the only general purpose and high accuracy technique that is applicable with reasonable effort.< >

This paper describes a hybrid approach towards design management. It was applied in a case study linking automated software development and behavioral synthesis. The process-centered software development environment MARVEL is combined with the ALLIANCE design tool box to provide a flexible hardware design management environment. It automatically activates tools according to the design flow, checks access rights of designers, and maintains consistency of design data. Some lessons learned from the experiment are reported.< >

The development of autonomous robots involves the imitation of human decision-making abilities with the aid of diverse sensor information. Fuzzy logic, which is based on fuzzy modelling and approximate reasoning, can be applied in different levels of control tasks. We first present the research results of applying fuzzy logic control in the motion execution of mobile systems and sensor-guided fine-motion of a manipulator. To realize real-time 'reactive' control, suitable hardware which supports the acceleration of fuzzy inference should be developed. The design and development of a VME-bus compatible fuzzy co-processor is also described.

A new product model that is particularly useful for model-based assembly planning is presented in this paper. The majority of the models used in this domain are simple approximations of the real workpiece and they are often dedicated to special algorithms. The model described here provides a more accurate and more flexible representation of workpieces. An increase in accuracy of the shape description was achieved by enhancing a polyhedral model with an analytical representation. The application of the model is demonstrated within the framework of assembly sequence planning.

A fuzzy control approach is proposed for controlling a mobile robot by effectively using the static knowledge of a partially-known environment and the dynamic sensor data. To describe the global structure of the static environment, a tangent-graph is first constructed and a sequence of subgoals is generated for guiding the global path direction. During the execution of these subgoals, a motion executor using the concept of fuzzy control evaluates the sensor data and the robot current status, and adjusts the moving speed and direction of the robot.< >

The development of an advanced planning environment is described, which is especially tailored for the programming and simulating of complex assembly operations with multifinger robot hands. A new geometric-mechanic approach to the problem of planning grasp parameters for multifinger hands is presented, which considers the constraints of pick-and-place operations in manipulation and insertion tasks. The planning method is subdivided into two successive steps for (1) grasp point planning assertion object reachability and task feasibility, and (2) grasp force planning asserting object stability and grip security. The planning process is connected via a task concept and assembly specific language with the command executer of the planning system which controls both the motion emulation and force simulation.< >

Presents a neuro-fuzzy control approach for intelligent microrobots. Typical tasks of such industrial or medical robots are both exploration and fine manipulation, what demands task planning and motion/force control capabilities. For this kind of microsystems the authors investigate the system technical aspects of information processing. The concept for the control system architecture is based on the combination of a neural network approach for the adaptation of process parameters and a fuzzy logic approach for the correction of parameter values given to a conventional controller. A planning component deals with the determination of initial manipulation parameters. Together with a sensor fusion procedure and a supervising and reasoning subsystem this allows reliable operation of a microrobot.< >

In this paper the control architecture of the mobile robot system PRIAMOS is presented. It consists of four layers which integrate reactive and reflexive components in such a way that the robot can combine fast reaction to unexpected obstacles with predictive behaviour to known components in the environnement. A solution for the problem bow to combine control layers which process information on different levels of abstraction and of increasing complexity is discussed. The reflexive part of the control architecture and the modification concerning the motion controller of the mobile robot which was necessary to apply the idea of reflexive navigation is described in more details. The architecture presented allows to execute motion tasks in partially unknown or changing environment in an efficient manner. Especially the time critical reflexive level is computationally less expensive than previous approaches

A new concept for navigation of mobile robots based on the planary coded environment (PLACER) is presented, which enables the coordination of several mobile robots in a real manufacturing environment. It is a path independent external navigation system with passive environment structuring over the entire movement area of the robots. This area is completely covered with tiles, each containing the coordinates of its centre point inscribed using an error correcting code
