Abstract :
An application of the new physical principles for a construction of the measuring and executing devices in robotic and industrial systems together with a development of intelligent control means create a basis for the appearance of new cybernetic systems. However, a synergy effect of such developments will be achieved only in the case when developed devices form a united system via a multipurpose network infrastructure to ensure information interaction with control components, with operators or other network devices. Such an infrastructure has to be designed on the basis of an adaptive model of the network interaction that takes into consideration the changes of the data transmission medium states to provide required parameters of the network service: transmission time, capacity, etc. Such expansion of the functional possibilities permits to expand the information and control means of the developed devices essentially and to consider them as components of the united cyberspace. From the point of view of the control methods, the metrics of such space has the dimension of time and describes the dynamics of the processes of information transmission between its components. The examples of the development of new measuring and executing devices equipped with network interaction means are considered in this paper. The various aspects of the information infrastructure design with the goal of intelligent robotics development are also analyzed
