Abstract :
By allowing multiple robotic devices to appear in a single position equation, we introduce a simple yet powerful method for controlling multiple devices simultaneously. The data structures used to implement multiple-device position equations are explained, and a software design for a multi-device trajectory generator is outlined. The library concept of a robot control languages similar to RCCL [1], is the basis of this design.
