Erlang eXchange 2008: Corrado Santoro on Erlang & Robotics Workshop
Erlang & Robotics Workshop
The workshop will focus on how to program autonomous mobile robots using the Erlang language and the ROSEN framework.
The framework is based on OTP principles, making a strong use of behaviors in order to separate generic functionalities from the peculiarities of the
structure of the specific robot to be implemented.
A tool for simulating the functioning of the robot will be also described, based on the ROSEN, a 3D robotic simulation engine. Thanks to ROSEN, the control system implemented using the framework can be tested by means of
a simulation approach. Once tested, it can be deployed onto the real robot.
The workshop will consist of a brief introduction to the problem after which a description of the robotic framework and ROSEN will be provided. Some case studies will highlight how to use these tools to build a real robot; finally, a short overview on swarm robotics will be given, showing how to exploit ROSEN to simulate these kind of systems.
Workshop Outline:-
Issues in autonomous mobile robot programming
-
The robotic framework
-
ROSEN
-
Gluing ROSEN with the robotic framework
-
Case study: building a simple robot together
-
A step forward: using ROSEN to simulate swarm robotic environments.
