Documentation of AU robot servers

Server-structure-1.png

AU Robot Servers is a software infrastructure that can combine a number of functional modules to a robot with functionality at a the higher abstraction levels. Yellow boxes are the currently available servers in this structure.

Download and bug reporting

For package and install notes see: [Christian's Wiki Page] - no, that page is now used by others for other purposes, but in summary the released versions are here: http://www.iau.dtu.dk/~jca/rac/releases

and a few comments for the release in Release notes

CVS updated to version ~1.96 (27 apr 2008)

NEW! BUG reporting page here: Change requests

Servers

[Server structure] issues (global variables and methods)

Camera server [ucamserver]

Laser scanner server [ulmsserver]

Empty server [userver]

Data monitoring client [auclient]

Static Plug-ins

Static plug-ins is part of the server code, and can be loaded without any additional files, see:

>> module help

To get the available list of static plug-ins (and a short description)

The three [Coordinate systems] are available as static: odometry, UTM and Map

File plug-ins

This is a list of the current available plug-ins in release 1.98:

  • auavoid.so.0 - visual graph obstacle avoidance (not stable)
  • auballfinder.so.0 - sample blob finder in a camera image
  • aucamcog.so.0 - a sample center of gravity plug-in for part of a camera image
  • aucamfocus.so.0 - a focus (contrast) calculation on a camera image.
  • aucron.so.0 - a module to execute bash commands at regular intervals - e.g. to move logged images at low priority
