Abstract

Most solutions to complex robotic challenges require many levels of computational processes to work in harmony across heterogeneous targets. These processes can be as basic as generating a pulsewidth modulated (PWM) signal, or as sophisticated as task planning. The solution's implementation may also not be fully understood at the beginning of development, which begs for a robot operating system that allows for flexible and interactive development at all levels of the solution. We used LabVIEW as a robot operating system and programming language to address these challenges in solving a multi-robot search and rescue application.
