{"type":"ScholarlyArticle","title":"Concurrent Programming of Intelligent Robots","authors":[{"name":"Yutaka Kanayama","slug":"yutaka-kanayama","given":"Yutaka","family":"Kanayama","affiliation":""}],"abstract":"Real time intelligent robots usually consistof more than one processing unit (pu) to ensure parallel operation of several functions . Each pu in a r obot executes repetitive monitoring and controlling operations as well as information exchange to and from other pu ' s . Since timing of each operation is independent of others,if the robot operating software supports concurrent process facilities, it would be hel pf ul in robot programming . A selfcontained robot \"Yamabico 9\" has been constructed to be a tool for investigating how a mobile robot understands the outer world . In order to support software production on the robot, Robot Control System (RCS) has been implemented, includin g simple job commands and a supe rvisor call (SVC) system. The concurrent process monitor is a part of RCS and some of SVC's are for these faci lities . The monitor adopts a \"message sendin g\" method to synchronize execution of two processes and to exchange information between processes and pu's. An example of a concurrent process program, \"walk along left walls\", is given to demonstrate the describing power of our system.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/201","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/0201.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/201.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/bibtex/201","volume":{"slug":"1983","title":"Proceedings of the Eighth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1983","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1983/","year":1983,"location":"Karlsruhe, West Germany","dates":"","editors":"Alan Bundy","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Robotics","track":"Robotics","number":201,"pages":{"first":834,"last":837},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
