ROBOT CONTROLLER. Robot Languages and Robot Control Software.

Researchers simulate robot dynamics to optimize gains, trajectories, and controls and to validate proper robot operation. In this paper, we focus on this latter application, which allows roboticists to verify that robots do not damage themselves, the environments they are situated within, or humans. In current simulations, robot control code runs in lockstep with the dynamics integration. This design can result in code that appears viable in simulation but runs too slowly on physical systems. Addressing this problem requires overcoming significant challenges that arise due both to the speed of dynamic simulation running time (simulations may run 1/10 or 1/100 of real-time or slower) and to the variability of the running times (e.g., the speed of collision detection algorithms depends on pairwise object proximities). These difficulties imply that one must not only slow the control software but also scale controller running speeds dynamically. We describe the numerous architectural and OS-level technical challenges that we have overcome to yield temporally consistent simulation for modeling robots that use only real-time processes, and we show that our system is superior to the status quo using simulation-based experiments.

SUMMARYA modular hierarchical model for controlling robots is presented. This model is targeted mainly for research and development; it enables researchers to concentrate on a certain specific task of robotics, while using existing building blocks for the rest of their applications. The presentation begins by discussing the problems with which researchers and engineers of robotics are faced whenever trying to use existing commercial robots. Based on this discussion we propose a new general model for robot control to be referred as TERM (TEchnion Robotic Model). The viability of the new model is demonstrated by implementing a general purpose robot controller.

According to the problem that the intelligence is not high of the soccer robot, using the mechanical theory as a guide, making some mechanical analyses and calculations on the pressure and transmutation states of chip kick mechanics, and conducting optimal design too, then making the structure of chip kick mechanics more and more rationalization. Experiments show that the new soccer robot controller features a quick response and high servo rigidity, and provide a kind of method for improving and perfecting the soccer robot control system, at the same time, filling the needs of producing.
