Developing a mobile robot control application with CommonKADS-RT

Abstract

The advances achieved in Real-Time Artificial Intelligence (RTAI) allow us to apply techniques to build large applications. However, developing such applications require having a methodology that defines the techniques, tools and processes to allow for modeling their characteristics. There are several important lines of research in RTAI, such as architectures, languages, methods and methodologies. All of them provide the necessary information and knowledge to be able to build computer systems based on real-world problems. This paper describes CommonKADS-RT, a method to develop Real Time Intelligent Systems. This method is based on CommonKADS with the addition of necessary elements to model real time restrictions. We also present an application of this approach to the control of an autonomous mobile robot.
