A new concept of flexible organization for distributed robotized systems

Abstract

The concept presented for the management of distributed dynamic systems is based on installing in all system components of a universal intelligent module interpreting special high-level language, in which any centralized or distributed control can be expressed. The mission scenario in the language, starting from any interpreter, is collectively executed by their network. The interpreters perform appropriate operations in nodes, while passing other parts of the scenario, together with intermediate data, to other interpreters in a coordinated manner. This process covers the system at runtime, and sets up distributed command and control infrastructures providing the overall integrity and goal orientation. This approach allows us to manage robotized systems in unpredictable and hostile environments, with possible failures of components. The language description and programming examples in it are provided.
