JPL Develops Electronics Architecture for Robots
According to NASA Tech
Briefs, JPL has proposed an electronics architecture
for the rapid construction and testing of robot prototypes. The
architecture is based on the PC/104 standard and adds specifications for
reconfigurable and modular I/O, processors, sensors, actuators and other
functions. Also included in the architecture design are multiple
watchdog timers for the computer and other boards. So far the
complete architecture doesn't appear to be published online anywhere but,
hopefully it will be soon. The architecture was designed by Michael
Garrett, Brett
Kennedy, and others at JPL's Robotics
Hardware System Group.
