Abstract

A robotic system architecture is presented and its real-time performance,when used to control a robotic gripper system for deformation-free handlingof limp material, is evaluated. A major problem to be overcome has been theintegrability and compatibility issues between various components of thedeveloped system. The software and hardware protocols and interfacesdeveloped to control and coordinate the subsystem operations andinteractions are presented. The performance of the developed real-time,hierarchical, sensor-based robotic system architecture is found to meet andsatisfy a set of system operational constraints and demands as dictated bythe industry.
