Currently many sensors and processing data in a robot based on USN environments need to real-time features. In this paper, we examine recent research trends on real-time operating systems, especially on real-time embedded Linux, RTAI and Xenomai, for intelligent robots. Xenomai is a real-time development framework and have special feature supporting RTAI, VxWorks, pSOS+ etc. through the "skin". This research gives a guide to researcher in using real-time embedded Linux in the sense of architecture, supporting real-time mechanisms, kinds of real-time device driver, performances.

This paper proposes a RTWM (Real-Time Web Middleware) framework for real-time EC(Electronic Commerce) systems. RTWM system is extended the existing COS( CORBA Object Service) model added to the event monitoring, real-time scheduler, real-time event filtering for supporting real-time concept of EC systems. Especially, this paper is concentrated on providing suitable event filtering function for EC system in order to meed various user time requirements under distributed system environment. It stores time constraint requirements an interesting event information input from users into QoS repository, then processes the data through appropriate RTFA(Real-Time Filtering Agent) module when real-time events occur. From this method, users can get the filtered event result reflected their requirements about real-time filtering. It means this system provides thigh QoS to users. In addition, it results in decreasing network traffic as unnecessary event information is filtered from network.

This paper proposes the design of a novel distributed message management scheme using a message-oriented management and analysis tool (MOMAT) for naval combat system (NCS) middle-ware. If a message is not guaranteed real-time of the NCS with each node, it causes the loss of data and decreases the reliability of systems. To solve these problems, improved message management schemes are proposed. Message management schemes are considering a real-time user management scheme and a real-time traffic management scheme. The proposed schemes are simulated with a developed simulation tool, data publisher, and subscriber connected through nodes in middle-ware. The simulation results show improved results in terms of message round-trip time (RTT), End-to-End delay, and throughput.

The real-time industrial network, often referred to as fieldbus, is an important element for intelligent manufacturing systems. Thus, in order to satisfy the real-time requirements of field devices, numerous fieldbus protocols have been announced. But, the application of fieldbus has been limited due to the high cost of hardware and the difficulty in interfacing with multi-vendor products. Therefore, as an alternative to fieldbus, the computer network technology, especially Ethernet (IEEE 802.3), is being adapted to the industrial environment. However, the crucial technical obstacle for Ethernet is its non-deterministic behavior that makes it inadequate for industrial applications where real-time data have to be delivered within a certain time limit. Recently, the development of switched Ethernet shows a very promising prospect for industrial application due to the elimination of uncertainties in the network operation resulting in much improved performance. This paper focuses on the application of the switched Ethernet with cascade structure for industrial communications. More specifically, this paper presents an analytical performance evaluation of switched Ethernet with cascade structure, and a case study about networked control system.

This paper describes a new 14-CPU real-time distributed automatic gauge control (AGC) system for POSCO's No. 2 Hot Strip Mill at Pohang Works. The new AGC system has adopted gaugemeter AGC, Monitor AGC, and roll gap disturbance compensators. The computer system for the new AGC system has been developed based on VMEbus computer systems and a commercial real-time operating system. A VMEbus computer system is also used for the position servo control of hydraulic cylinders. All the application programs and input/output signals have been reasonably distributed over the control computer systems for the maximum reliability and effectiveness of the system. The new AGC system has been successfully used for the No. 2 Hot Strip Mill.

The real-time characteristic of the adaptive leaning control algorithms is validated based on the applied results of the hydraulic servo system that has very strong a non-linearity. The evolutionary strategy automatically adjusts the search regions with natural competition among many individuals. The error that is generated from the dynamic system is applied to the mutation equation. Competitive individuals are reduced with automatic adjustments of the search region in accordance with the error. In this paper, the individual parents and offspring can be reduced in order to apply evolutionary algorithms in real-time. The feasibility of the newly proposed algorithm was demonstrated through the real-time test.

In this paper, a real-time optimization method for nonlinear dynamical systems is proposed. The proposed method is based on the algorithms of numerical solutions for optimal control problems. We deal with a real-time collision-free motion control of a nonholonomic mobile robot, which has input restrictions of actuators. The effectiveness of the algorithmic method is demonstrated through numerical and experimental results. The mobile robot which we have developed is able to avoid moving obstacles skillfully. Therefore the proposed controller works well in real time.

We implemented a real-time servo system for a manipulator based on Laser Range Finder (LRF). and established algorithms for grasping a moving cylinder. We devised a manipulator mechanism and driving hardware based on a system board equipped with Xscale Processor with real-time operating system RTAI on Linux. The manipulator motor driver is connected to the system board via CAN communication link, and LRF is connected via RS-232C. We implemented real-time software including CAN device driver, RS-232C device driver, manipulator trajectory generator, and LRF control software. A typical application experiment for grasping a cylinder with circle motion demonstrated our system's real-time performance.

This paper proposes an architecture of a real-time EtherCAT master library called RtEML. The controls EtherCAT slaves under EtherCAT protocol in real-time. It provides a simple programming interface which is useful in developing robot application in C/C++ or C#. To achieve deterministic, hard real-time control in Microsoft Windows environment without additional hardware, INtime is used. Since INtime is designed specifically to take advantage of the powerful capabilities of the x86 processor architecture, the proposed RtEML achieves microseconds of real-time performance.

Unmanned ground vehicles have important military, reconnaissance, and materials handling application. Many of these applications require the UGVs to move at high speeds through uneven, natural terrain with various compositions and physical parameters. This paper presents a framework for high speed autonomous navigation based on the integrated real time traversability. Specifically, the proposed system performs real-time dynamic simulation and calculate maximum traversing velocity guaranteeing safe motion over rough terrain. The architecture of autonomous navigation is firstly presented for high-speed autonomous navigation. Then, the integrated real time traversability, which is composed of initial velocity profiling step, dynamic analysis step, road classification step and stable velocity profiling step, is introduced. Experimental results are presented that demonstrate the method for a $6{\times}6$ autonomous vehicle moving on flat terrain with bump.
