Multi-Robot Parallel Delivery System with Centralized Scheduler Using Distributed Environment Acquisitions: A Design of Distributed System Connected by CORBA

摘要

We propose a personal robot system which can deliver letters, parcels, or documents in an office-like environment. In order to produce the practical delivery system, we employ multiple mobile robots, which enables many users to use the delivery service simultaneously. In this paper, we describe a design policy and a system architecture. The system is consist of distributed function modules, and they are connected by CORBA. This architecture facilitates the extension of the system.
