Abstract :
JAUS (Joint Architecture for Unmanned System) is a standard interface for autonomous mobile robots. JAUS enables rapid prototyping and reduces the lifecycle cost associated with developing new mobile robots. In this paper, we develop a JAUS protocol converter module for autonomous mobile robots that enables us to use conventional sensors in a JAUS-compliant mobile robot. To validate our proposed approach, we implemented the JAUS protocol converter for an actual mobile robot and performed tests in an outdoor environment.
