Distributed Control System for Small-sized RoboCup

Abstract

The development of embedded technology has rapidly captured the attention of the sensor manufactures around the world, various sensing devices are being developed with embedded controller which simplify the concept of old style integration into the data communication between controllers. The main controller sends command and retrieves data/status from the slave controllers and acts accordingly, as the result, the software development cycle has decreased drastically. The paper is an example of an effort to implement distributed control concept into a small-sized RoboCup which in turn simplify the design and allow the designer to easily add more features to the robot.
