Erlang eXchange 2008: Corrado Santoro on Erlang & Robotics: The ROSEN Framework at the Eurobot 2008 Competion
Erlang & Robotics: The ROSEN Framework at the Eurobot 2008 Competion
This talk will describe ROSEN, an Erlang robotic framework and simulation engine developed by the University of Catania. It is characterised by a layered architecture able to separate the various concurring tasks controlling the system into different modules. The framework is based on OTP principles, making a strong use of behaviors in order to separate generic functionalities from the peculiarities specifics of the robot being implemented. ROSEN and the Robotics framework is based on experiences of competing in the Eurobot competitions in 2006 and 2007, where robots played funny golf and collected materials to be recycled. The talk will end with a case study and video of the Mission to Mars 2008 Eurobot competition, where the team have built robots collecting proof of life on Mars, and bring it back to earth.
