- Hi all,
-
- A while back, Jim Crowley (formerly at CMU, now at Imag, I believe)
- posted a description of a standard "vehicle level" control protocol
- originally developed at CMU around 1983. The protocol, which was used
- on a number of CMU mobile platforms, was later adapted by TRC for their
- Labmate controller.
-
- I am interested in hearing about other attempts to develop "standard"
- (i.e., portable, generic, etc.) control protocols for mobile robots.
- Additionally, I am interested in what others have used for
- specification of mobile robot control (i.e., command sets such as
- "move x", "turn y", etc.). If you have developed a protocol/command
- language, please send a description (or reference) to:
-
- terry@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
-
- I will post a summary of all that I receive (and perhaps ask nivek to
- include it in the FAQ).
-
- Thanks very much!
