Abstract

The National Bureau of Standards, Industrial Systems Division designed the Real-time Control System where high-level goals are decomposed through a succession of levels, each producing strings of simpler commands to the next lower level. The bottom level generates the drive signals to the robot, gripper, and other actuators. Each control level is a separate process with a limited scope of responsibility, independent of the details at other levels, thus providing a foundation for future modular, "plug compatible" hardware and software for robots and real-time sensory interactive control applications.
