Abstract :
The paper presents the architecture of a distributed multi-robot system including the VxWorks distributed real-time operating system for the CRS F3 robot system, the Host-Target type computer system, a multi-functional software module, and an Internet oriented Web server. The paper focuses on the distributed coordination control of the system, and proposes an effective solution to deal with the control and communication problems.
