Abstract

In this paper, we propose an architecture for easy construction of an open robot controller. The controller is a multi-agent system which has six agents: the man-machine interface, task planner, motion planner, arm controller, tool controller and CG display. The controller also has two databases: the task knowledge database and the robot/environment database. Based on this controller architecture, we are constructing a CG simulator for a power distribution line maintenance robot and are executing simulations of the maintenance tasks.
