Abstract
The nature of an OS is explained, and it is indicated that many areas remain to be addressed before a real-time OS can be implemented for a robot. Most of these stem from the requirement for a real-time sensory architecture. There is a need for a mechanism to organise data and data flow in an appropriate manner, whilst considering the needs for controlling and predicting the behaviour of a multitasking environment. A set of objectives is presented and discussed, and a model for development and use is given
