Today, when constructing software systems, many developers build their systems on top of
frameworks. Eclipse is such a framework that has been in existence for over a decade. Like …

The article investigates the problem of designing robot control systems. It starts with a brief
overview of general control architectures, followed by the presentation of the design …

This paper presents a method of designing variable structure control systems for robots. As
the on-board robot computational resources are limited, but in some cases the demands …

The paper presents a systematic approach to robot control system design. The robot is
treated as an embodied agent decomposed into effectors, receptors, both real and virtual …

Covering about two-thirds of the earth, the ocean is an enormous system that dominates
processes on the Earth and has abundant living and nonliving resources, such as fish and …

The paper presents a holistic robotic system specification methodology taking into account
both the system structure and its activities. It is based on the concept of an embodied agent …

The paper presents the general architecture of the control system of a companion robot. As
companion robots have to perform diverse and complex tasks, while computational …

Incompatibility between applications developed on top of frameworks with new versions of
the frameworks is a big nightmare to both developers and users of the applications …

This paper describes our experience in the simulation of humanoid soccer robots using two
general purposes 3D simulators, namely USARSim and Microsoft Robotics Studio. We …
