In order to implement the real-time operating systems for robot controller, this paper proposes a systematic method for implementing the real-time kernel under the DOS environment. So far, we designed the robot control software and its own operating system simultaneously. Though robot operating systems have simple structure, it allows the developer to have a surplus time and effort to implement complete robot systems. In addition to this, in most cases of this type, operating systems does not support multitasking function, thus, low level hardware interrupts are used for real-time execution. Subsequently, some kinds of real-time tasks are hard to implement under this environment. Nowadays, the operating systems for robot controller requires multitasking functions, intertask communication and task synchronization mechanism, and rigorous real-time responsiveness. Thus, we propose an effective and low costs real-time systems for robot controller satisfying the various real-time characteristics. The proposed real-time systems are verified through real implementation.

This paper describes a method that is integrated trace for real-time virtualization environment. This method has solved the problem that the performance trace may not be able to analyze integrated method between heterogeneous operating systems which is consists of real-time operating systems and general-purpose operating system. In order to solve this problem, we have attempted to reuse the performance analysis function in general-purpose operating system, thereby real-time operating systems can be analyzed along with general-operating system. Furthermore, we have implemented a prototype based on ARM Cortex-A15 dual-core processor. By using this integrated trace method, real-time system developers can be improved productivity and reliability of results on real-time virtualization environment.

The SoC and digital technology development recently enabled the emergence of information devices and control devices because the SoC presents many advantages such like lower power consumption, greater reliability, and lower cost. However, it is nearly impossible to use the SoC without operating systems because the SoC is included with many peripherals and complex architecture. It is required to use embedded operating systems and real-time operating systems may be used as an embedded operating system. So far, real-time operating systems are widely used to implement a Real-Time system since it meets developer's requirements. However, real-time operating systems have disadvantages including a lack of standards, expensive development, and license. Embedded Linux is able to overcome their disadvantages. In this paper, the implementation of control system platform for a mobile robot using real-time Embedded Linux is described. As a control hardware system platform, XScale board is used. As the real-time Embedded Linux, RTAI is adopted which is open source and royalty free, and supports various architectures and real-time devices, such like real-time CAN and real-time COM. This paper shows the implementation of RTAI on XScale board that means the porting procedure. We also applied the control system platform to the mobile robot and compared the Real-Time serial driver with non real-time serial driver. Experimental results show that that using RTAI is useful to build real-time control system with powerful functionalities of Linux.

In this paper, we propose an implementation of a real-time operating system for the two-wheel mobile robot. With this implementation, we have the ability to control the complex embedded systems of the two-wheel mobile robot. The advantage of the real-time operating system is increasing the reliability and stability of the two-wheel mobile robot when they work in critical environments such as military and industrial applications. The real-time operating system which was ported to this implementation is open systems and the corresponding interfaces for automotive electronics (OSEK/VDX). It is known as the set of specifications on automotive operating systems, published by a consortium founded by the automotive industry. The mechanical design and kinematics of the two-wheel mobile robot are described in this paper. The contributions of this paper suggest a method for adapting and porting OSEK/VDX real-time operating system to the two-wheel mobile robot with the differential drive method, and we are also able to apply the real-time operating system to any complex embedded system easily.

원자력발전소의 발전소보호계통과 같은 안전필수 시스템은 예상 가능한 사고로부터 인간과 자연을 보호하기 위한 중요 기능을 수행하는 시스템으로써, 어떠한 조건 하에서도 고유의 안전기능을 안정적으로 수행할 수 있도록 설계되어야 한다. 원자력발전소의 안전필수 기능을 수행하는 계측제어시스템에 적용되는 최신의 컴퓨터에는 다양한 하부기기를 감시 및 제어하고, 응용 프로그램을 실행시키기 위한 실시간 운영체제가 탑재되어 있으며, 이러한 실시간 운영체제는 가장 엄격한 소프트웨어 품질이 요구된다. 또한, 예상 가능한 조건에서도 안전필수 시스템의 기능이 적절히 수행될 수 있도록 설계, 분석 및 평가되어야 한다. 그러나 지금까지 국내 원자력발전소 안전필수 시스템에는, 원자력 기준과 품질등급에 따라 개발된 제품이 아닌 상용제품의 실시간 운영체제를 정성적 측면에서 승인(Commercial Grade Item Dedication)하는 방식으로 적용되어 왔다. 이로 인해 실시간 운영체제가 안전필수 기능을 수행하는 데 적합한지를 평가하는 상세 방법론과 경험이 매우 부족한 것으로 파악되고 있다. 특히, 안전필수 시스템에 적용함을 목적으로 신규 개발되는 실시간 운영체제의 경우, 안전성을 평가하기 위한 적절한 방법을 도출하기에 어려움이 있는 것으로 파악되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원전의 안전필수 기능을 수행하는 실시간 운영체제의 설계요구사항을 기반으로, 안전필수 실시간 운영체제에 대한 안전성 분석 및 평가 사례를 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 상세 안전성 평가의 방법과 사례는 향후 타 산업분야에서의 안전필수 실시간 운영체제 개발 및 안전성 평가에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Robot control software is a hard real-time system that must output the planned trajectory points within an explicit short time period. In this paper, we present a design and implementation method for robot control software using commercial real-time operating systems, RTKemel 4.5. Therefore, various robot motions, efficient user interface, and system failure check are easily implemented by using multitasking function, intertask communication mechanism, and real-time runtime libraries of RTKernel. The performance analysis of commercial real-time operating system for robot control is presented based on Timed Petri net(TPN) and we can use these results to design an optimal system.

In this paper, we present an RTOS named HEART (Highly Expandable AOP-based Real-Time operating system). It is modularized into a single base and multiple optional features. The base implements a core functionality and each feature implements a specific functionality of RTOS such as interrupt nesting, multithreading, inter-thread communication, and etc. Users can customize HEART just by selecting needed features. Then a specialized version of HEART is automatically generated. We argue that HEART enables the rapid construction of optimized and application-specific RTOSes for diverse embedded systems.

무선 센서 네트워크가 적용되는 새로운 응용분야는 점점 더 정교하고 복잡한 태스크 수행과 정해진 시간내에 태스크 수행을 완료해야 한다는 조건 만족을 요구하고 있다. 그러나 현재까지, 무선 센서 네트워크에서 센서 노드의 자원 제약성과 수행 작업 특성을 고려한 실시간 센서 운영체제 기반의 인터럽트 처리 기법에 관한 연구는 미비하다. 본 논문에서는 센서 운영체제에서 실시간성을 만족시키기 위한 요구 사항들을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 시스템을 설계 및 구현한다. 또한 다양한 검증을 통해, 제안하는 기법의 신뢰성 제공을 확인하며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 실시간 특성에 대한 요구사항 충족 및 성능의 효율성을 검증한다.
