Currently, he prepares a PhD Thesis in Computer Sciences and Robotics at the LIRMM Laboratory of the University of Montpellier, France. His main research interests include object-oriented modelling and programming, component-based development, Petri nets based design and robotic control architectures. His secondary scientific interests include multi-agents paradigm and constraint satisfaction problems modelling. ABSTRACT
A modelling language for communicating architectural solutions in the
domain of robot control
An open issue in robotics is to explain and compare very
different solutions given by robot architects for control
organization. This paper presents a domain specific modelling
language dedicated to overcome this problem. The underlying
goal of this work is to promote the communication of robot
architects' expertise. The paper starts from a reflexion on the
state of the art in research on control architectures. It
results from this the report that to compare control
architectures, it is necessary to be focused on the decision
process organization by abstracting from technological features.
A conceptual model for robotic architectures, defining domain
terminology and concepts used in the description of decision
process organization, is presented. Then, the language used to
model organization of the decision process is defined via a
meta-model. Finally, the use of the language is illustrated
with the description of architectural solutions of CLARATy and
Aura.
